[net.micro.zx] Remote-control of appliances from computer

rs173@houxp.UUCP (11/30/83)

     I am intersested in controlling appliances such as lights,
tape recorders, et. from my home computer.  I have the BSR remote
control system, including controller,clock,ultrasonic remote,lamp dimmers,
and appliance modules.

      The computers  which I would use for control are my appleII+, and/or
my Sinclair ZX81(Timex 1000).

      If you know of companies which offer BSR-compatible interfaces,
or of articles which describe their construction, please let me know
about them.
                                   thanks....

Heathkit sells a serial to BSR interface which can control
up to 256 BSR modules.  Inside, I believe, there is a 8045
microcomputer that makes it very easy to control from
a computer.
