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.
