Relay board interfacing via USB Port on Vera

Does anyone know if it would be possible to talk to a board like this with Vera? I notice my Vera controller has 2 USB ports on the back.

Yes, it would be possible. There are a number is other apps to support relay modules and there is also the Global Cache relays supported as well. Two example of implementation of relays modules are below:

Thanks. I’m thinking about just going with the Arduino + Ethernet + Relay shield. I’ll just talk to the Arduino board via the LAN port, that way I don’t have to mess around with plugins =)

Tnx.
