There is a networked controller. All the other controllers, Switches and Probes would hook up through them. The software is the only thing that is PC based. With the networked version of the Phidget you could upload a program that would take over and control certain ports if it loses contact...

Has anyone here built a computer controlled grow room? Been thinking about using Hydrohomesoft software to control a set of Phidgets for room control of lighting, fans, and Nute control anything else I would need to control..
