Introduction
RUC Overview
Congratulations on your purchase of the Web Mountain Technologies Remote
Universal Controller (RUC). We appreciate you choosing the RUC to provide
your home / office with a rich set of communications / control capabilities.
The Web Mountain Technologies Remote Universal Controller (RUC) is intended
to be used as a network appliance for the control of a home automation network.
Control signals can be sent over Ethernet, either remotely over the Internet or on
a local network. One example of such use are commands sent over the Internet
that are then converted into serial commands that are sent to an externally
connected WMT SPIM UPB powerline Interface module for transmission onto the
local powerline.
In addition, the unit contains a second serial port, which allows for the
conversion of one automation protocol to other home automation protocols, such
as Zwave, X10, or the ESI drapery control system.
