Please post suggestions for a web switch I may purchase to turn on/off various shack components over the internet for remote operation. Looking for a device with a GUI that can be used to internet control power to radios/antenna controllers/computers/etc either directly or through 12V relays that I can build in a box.    Thanks, Jim

    I recommend this one from Digital Loggers. https://dlidirect.com/ They have gotten very pricey but are a great piece of equipment.

    Hi Phil

    I tested the Sonoff wifi devices and there was no way I could get it to connect to my Eeros Mesh.  I even tried their manual method.

    I'm glad you've gotten it to work and it is stable for you.

    73, Mike

    I also use Sonoff devices flashed with Tasmota firmware. Once flashed with Tasmota firmware the devices are able to be integrated into home automation software and have many more features and functionality than stock firmware.

    Mike, Love your NR interface.  I am also using an RPi and NR to control my station including a 4 port antenna switch.  I use an Amazon Echo to actually talk to NR if I don't want to use a Dashboard.

    I would love to share some Flows and really get more Hams working with NodeRed .  I will share my KMTronic Flow and the KPA500 flow (it isn't down yet).  

    I have a thread on NodeRed running in the SmartLink area.  Feel free to share if you wish.

    I would like to integrate SIRI or Google, but I have yet to get that far.

    Hey Mike.  Good idea.  I'll check out your thread.  If you are interested in using voice commands with NR I highly recommend getting an Amazon Echo Dot ($35).  There are several NR contributed nodes available including 1 that requires no skills development.  It just works and is extremely easy.  I can help if you need more info and we shouldn't hijack this thread. Hi hi.
