DON'T BE AN INGRATE.
X10 IS KIDS STUFF, GO TO SUPERCIRCUITS.COM AND DO SOMETHING REALLY
FUNCTIONAL AND IMPRESSIVE.
WELL YES GHELFY, VAUGHNER AND WINSATON I HAVE NOT SEEN THE ONE IN THE
LINK, BUT SOME OF THE NEW PROCESSING PLANTS PRODUCE PELLETS GOOD FOR
ALL SORTS OF GREEN PROJECTS : )

DON'T THINK AS MUCH IN TERMS OF HARDWARE ANYMORE
SOMETHING NEW IN SOLID STATE
A GROWING CHOICE OF WIRELESS COMPUTER APPs
A CPU BASED CONTROLER/MODEM WITH YOUR SYSTEM TIED INTO AN ONLINE
SERVER
ONLINE CONTROL SYSTEMS AVAILABLE WITH ZOOM/PAN/TILT TOO - SET UP
SOFTWARE INCLUDED ;/
OR FORGET ALL THAT AND CLEAR YOUR GUTTERS AND CHECK YOUR PLUMBING

So how is that working out?
Did you use it out of the box?
Or did you do the Linuk mod thing?
I have been thinking of putting together a
home server. Mostly I have been thinking of
is FreeNAS (Google it). But I don't want to
dedicate a full box to the task. One of
these plug devices may be just the thing.
Maybe not for FeeNAS, but if I could get the
same functionality in an enrgy efficent
device...

SET UP A FEW SECURITY CAMERAS IN AND AROUND YOUR HOUSE
AND CONNECT IT TO AN AUTOMATED SERVER
THIS WAY WHEN YOUR ARE AWAY OR ON VACATION YOU CAN SEE YOUR HOUSE
AND AVOID FEELING HOMESICK :)

If we could burn our trash we could capture that energy and eliminate our
gas bill. The problem is the pollution created by burning our trash. Figure
out a way to eliminate that and you may have a marketable idea.
