From the Back Cover

Did the mailman come today or not? How many times did the kids run in and out today? How long does the air conditioner usually run? So many questions -- all of which can be answered with a monitoring system as part of an automated home!

In Home Automation Basics, Thomas E. Leonik, P.E. shows you how to use Visual Basic "RM" 6 in a home-monitoring system. Some day soon, all the functions of your home will be automated by a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), the backbone of all industrial controls in the world. Trailblazing toward that new era, Leonik demonstrates just how easy it is to establish ground-level communications with a PLC through Visual Basic "RM".

Visual Basic "RM" 6 is a flexible programming language that operates through Microsoft "RM" Windows. With the help of a companion. CD-ROM, Home Automation Basics guides you through the programming and installation portions of this project, giving you the ability to monitor a variety of functions in your home or office, including:
-- Front doorbell
-- Door open/closed status
-- Water-pump usage
-- HVAC usage
-- Mailbox status
-- Temperature
-- Water pressure
