I haven't yet upgraded my kitchen from mediocre PC speakers to Aegos, but I've been using X-10 gear (a Firecracker serial port RF transmitter, a TM751 RF/X-10 transceiver, and an X-10 appliance module) with my BottleRocket plugin to turn my powered speakers off and on. No soldering, and the X-10 gear costs $8-$15 per piece on eBay. This'll likely only work with a Linux/Unix Slimserver host (Windows would require some code changes).
http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/BottleRocket.html My main disappointment with this setup is that the relays in the X-10 brand appliance modules make a quite audible clicking noise when turning on or off (when the relay opens or closes). But it hasn't bothered me enough to build an AMPSwitch setup or try a fancier X-10 compatible appliance module. -Peter -- peterw ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32893 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
