Domoticz compatible with USB network servers?
Posted: Friday 29 January 2016 12:24
Hello,
I am new to domoticz, working fine by the way. I have a simple Windows based setup in combination with AEON Labs Gen5 controller (USB).
Now I am thinking of hooking up my smart meter , but do not have options to cross the distance from downstairs hallway to upstairs attic pc.
I would have to buy a Raspberry (or similar setup) to run domoticz on that and attach p1 converter cable to the usb interface. However is it also possible to acquire a USB ethernet hub that i can place near the smart meter and router and attach a p1 converter cable to that? Would Domoticz on my pc be able to detect the attached converter cable through remote shared USB port? IF not than I will stick to another plan.

Thanks in advance!
