How will you interface with the Internet?

The 1132b has an RS232 interface and you can communicate with using a fairly simple ASCII protocol. The 1132b can also emulate the 1135.

The 1135 has a TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) >Hi

Thanks for the quick answer!

Now, can I find the 1132b in 220v version in the USA? The 20amp/220v appilence for the boiler is available here

But I could not find the right contoller...

Connecting it to the Internet is just a programming issue. If I'll know how to make a program that turns on the boiler (with the controller), I can, for example, make a program which reads an email and turns it on when an email arrives. Then I'll be able to turn on the boiler with my mobile phone... Of course there are many security issues here, but as I said, it's a programming issue.

Thanks again Saar

The 1132B is not available for 220V.

If you are going to use a 220V appliance module you can find European versions of it as well as X-10 220V controllers with RS232 interfaces.

Search for "CM12" at

to see what's available.

You can go with a single box solution that plugs into your home network with something like this

What is the difference between CM12 and 1132b beside the voltage? Do you operate the CM12 with the same simple ASCII protocol?

Can I buy CM12 at

and a X10 applience

they work together?

Anyway, do you think there is a better solution using RF instead of X10 ??

The CM12 will work with 3 phase systems while the 1132B will only work with a single phase system.

The communications protocol for the CM12 is a bit more complicated but it can be controlled via a command line interface using simple English commands.

Aside from the plug style, I think the USA appliance module will work but Laser (and other European dealers) also have European versions of it. Search there using "appliance module".

There are numerous RF systems available >What is the difference between CM12 and 1132b beside the voltage?
