Interesting. I've been wondering how difficult it would be to use some IP enabled switches to control home energy use. If you had a meter on the main power that reports the power use to a Linux system then you could have it turn off non-essential devices and make your PCs stop running BOINC if power use is too high. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] https://lists.luv.asn.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luv-main
