[asterisk-users] Asterisk to switch on electric heaters remotely?

[marvin horst]

This would be overkill, but I thought I would mention these products in case
someone was looking for a more "robust/industrial" automation solution that
could be integrated with the linux command line and asterisk. I do use
asterisk as a "remote control" device for a few non-critical inputs (air
supply valves) in our production plant. I also use asterisk for remotely
checking status on few IO points. Opto 22 produces the SNAP PAC System a line
of  "IO control brains". Some of these devices/brains can run a control
program independently, other serve as remote IO points for a controlling
brain or a program running on your linux server. Most of the software is
free with the exception of a few programs that are used in a large scale
deployment situation.

SDK for linux development (free). The SDK contains a program called eioctl
that you can compile for command line control of IO points.
