Hi guys. I am trying to select both a controller and HMI solution. We are in the process of designing/testing water treatment solutions as well as climate/irrigation controls for greenhouse growers. I am currently using Opto22 controllers, but have serious issue with their software quality (happy with the hardware and control script). I would continue to use their hardware if I can fill in these other pieces. Ideally I would have a solution that I could drop into a client site and they instantly have web access for control of the greenhouse (assume they have internet and an Ethernet connection). If I could have a magic rack/box with controller and built in web server, that would be perfect. I need the hardware to be affordable and dependable...potentially in a warm environment. I would like the HMI solution to support html5/js and not have outrageous licensing or yearly fees. The main thing is that I don't want to add the burden of supporting a PC with web/opc servers to my clients. Think packaged solution...for a farmer (ok, a farmer with a tablet and smartphone). All thoughts are greatly appreciated!
