I'm about ready to finish off my brew room (the room itself), so this info will be handy before everything is closed off.
Basically, I will have my PC in that room, as well as my eBrewery and ferm chamber. I'd like to know how the latter two will communicate with my PC. Will there be a panel next to the BCS brewery which I can connect with an ethernet to a switch (which my PC will also be connected to)? Same question for the BrewTroller/FermTroller... and if I can't simply hardwire either of them to my nextwork, are there similar systems that CAN function like that?
I want to be able to run a couple ethernet cables to the appropriate spot so that I can just install a jack on the wall in order to keep things neat and tidy. But the walls will be closed very soon, so I'm hoping to figure this out right now without having to rush to research and plan the entire control systems (potentially making mistakes) while the walls are still open.
