I have come to assume that the people that frequent this list have
interests similar to my own. (The ever-persistent desire to make one
thing do many things). So I am looking for some advice. I would like
to automate various appliances around my house using X-10 modules, but
have them controlled by my computer. I am aware of Mister Home, and it
looks cool, but it doesn't seem to do what I am looking for.
What I would like to do is call my computer, and via touch-tones
control the X-10 devices. I have DSL, and NEVER use my home phone
line. So if I hooked it up to a cheap $10 modem card, would it be
possible to do this? An example might be to call home and turn on the
AC on the way home from school by punching in *9. Or be able to call
home as I am pulling out of the drive way in the morning to turn off
the porch light by pushing *8.
It seems to me that this is old technology, so it might already be out
there - maybe even so old that no one knows about it any more. (Like
Windows 3.1) Any pointers as to where to look would be greatly
appreciated. -Mat
Isn't this what http://www.plutohome.com is doing?
