Mar 4, 2015 at 7:19 comment added Danny Bein @PaulL Sorry but that is a ridiculous comment. If you look at the replies you can see there are plenty of answers without specific product recommendations. You downvoted the thread? It seems some people are on this forum just to downvote posts
Mar 4, 2015 at 2:13 comment added Paul L If you want help making something that is one thing, but you seem to want a 'black box' that does everything for you. specific product recommendations are off-topic. you're going to to have to put some effort into this..

Mar 4, 2015 at 1:34 comment added Danny Bein @efox29 I would define complex as having to stitch tog different components and as I understand the need to program the microcontroller (I know a bit of Java , nothing else). This may not be complex for you but I am very new to this field.
Mar 4, 2015 at 1:29 comment added The Photon If you have a spare PC or laptop available to do this with, search for "USB relay controller" and write yourself a short program in C/Java/Perl/Python/whatever to do what you want. That avoids learning how to program a micro, but it takes us well out of the realm of "electronics design".
Mar 4, 2015 at 1:18 comment added efox29 What does "complex" mean ? If you have an Arduino (which has a microcontroller), it will take less than 5mins to get something working. 2 wires, 1 transistor, 1 relay, 1 diode, and sample code. So define "complex".

Mar 4, 2015 at 1:06 comment added Danny Bein Microcontroller is too complex as indicated by many comments on the other thread. I am looking for something simpler.
Mar 4, 2015 at 0:59 comment added Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Microcontrollers will not take a lot of work for something this simple.
