Control system for flame effects or other systems controlling 120v circuits.
Aduro provides the ability to switch a series of 120 volt sockets on and off remotely. Timing is rather important as is reliability, having a flame effect trigger at an inappropriate time can have rather dire consequences.
General features of the system:
- master control panel
- simple interface
- series of on / off switches, slider potentiometers and rotary potentiometers
- or a touch screen?
- programmable sequences
- wireless communication with control packs
- secure communications
- control packs are registered with the control panel
- there's a unique id for each control pack (uuid? mac address? other hardware serial number?)
- capabilities included with registeration
- simple interface
- secondary control interface
- controllable via iphone / ipad / android tablet
- control packs
- quad 120v circuits pack controlled through relays
- quad relay pack with exposed connectors
- control packs return to a known state when communication with the maser controller is lost
- other thoughts
- logging of all commands
Possible hardware platforms:
