soft switch/button for the emoncms on the web

Submitted by nbown on Wed, 21/11/2012 - 08:18

I have been think of add some extra functionality to the Emoncms web site dashboard that i have been using, I'm sure it's been done, but i can't find the info. 

Q. is there an option to have a switch/button for the web that can send a signal back to the emonbase. I wish to add some relays so that a can turn them on/off over the net.

Thanks Nigel

But will it not work only if you have a static IP address - unless you figure out a way for emoncms to keep the lastest that input was received from?  Security could be an issue and would need very careful thought.
