Yeah - if you start looking at them (and there are a ton of them) they all look like knock-offs of each other. Probably come out of the same handful of factories and just slap a different label on them. -
Working for OCC is like hitting the lottery, so you could say I have won something!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year From OCC!

I'm going to Taco Bell!!! -
Thanks - and it is nice, especially for a new company. But it has to be to compete.

I did make it work with a 6V adapter. Funny you mention the solar - I am working on that for another Argus. -
Stay tuned - we have another one from VIVO in the near future...

NEST Protect and NEST Learning Thermostat Reviewed

Ah - I see. Well, there are a lot of cool projects to control, monitor, and report things like you have with a Raspberry Pi. Might be worth looking into it. -
NEST Protect and NEST Learning Thermostat Reviewed
red454 replied to Bosco's topic in OCC News & Announcements
There are a few ways you can do it - and just thinking out loud - can you use a regular thermostat to control a relay for the heater? Then you could use a wifi switch (like a WeMo) to control the output of the relay? -
Definitely tempted to slap my Rampage V Extreme in there, and three red LED fans up front would look sweet!

I have a buddy with the computer in a cabinet and he mounted a couple of fans in the back of the cabinet to improve the temps - worked well for him. Anyway - the new tablets are quite powerful, and affordable, so that may be a path worth researching.

Just a few random thoughts - I assume you are using Windows as your OS? If so, have you upgraded to Win10? And is it a retail or OEM copy? Reason I ask is that you may need to factor that into the budget if you need to purchase a new copy of Windows if you build a new system. A pre-built system does have an advantage of coming with Win10 installed. You can always get a cheaper pre-built, and use your SSD to speed it up. You can look at the upgrade path for a fresh AMD CPU and perhaps some faster memory. Your board is AM3+ / FX capable, so you have a nice range of FX processors available - but the higher end units will generate more heat, so you may need to upgrade the cooler too. And changing a CPU may force a Windows reactivation, so be prepared for that.
