The invention provides a hardware equipment control method and system. The method comprises the following steps: storing a preset configuration file, wherein interface control information corresponding to each piece of equipment and the format of a carrier text matched with the interface control are preset in the configuration file; according to the interface control information, respectively generating the interface control of each piece of equipment in a main control interface; receiving a control command of a user by the corresponding interface control, and generating a corresponding carrier text to record the content of the control command; analyzing the carrier text according to format set in the configuration file, and converting the content of the control command into byte stream data; and sending the byte stream data to the corresponding equipment. The hardware equipment control method and system provided by the invention can be widely used for controlling different types of equipment, and various types of equipment can be simultaneously and conveniently controlled.
