A new company, control4, has come out with some nice home automation stuff. The nice thing is that it is all IP based. So you could set up a webpage to control the amp and SqueezeBox, and lots of other stuff. I'm looking to automate a whole house audio system...

The power switches I use have 8 outlets and cost about $600, so that's overkill for your needs, but at least in theory it would work like this: power amp plugged into networked power switch squeezebox is configured to execute a remote script when hitting a particular button on the remote (i've never done that, but search the archives on it--there has been discussion recently about how to do this) the remote script logs into the network power switch and powers it off/on what would be really cool is if it could happen when you hit the squeezebox remote's power button-- i.e., when you hit power to turn it on, it turns on the squeezebox and turns on the power amp. when you hit power to turn it off, it powers down the amp followed by the squeezebox... if you get this rolling, post how you did it to this list. I'm curious. #!/ben Bill Moseley wrote: > I have a sb1 connected directly to an Adcom GFA 535-II power amp.
