Can anyone think of a simple device to buy that connects to a computer that
allows you to turn off and on a 115V device?
An obvious Myth application would be to control a pc monitor with a fixed on
off switch, or perhaps a fixed audio amplifier. Of course, I'm actually
tentatively planning to stick it on my satellite modem's connector and let a
cron job force reset the thing every night so, hopefully, it stays stable the
rest of the time.
Actually for my purpose, a little power timer like at a hardware store would
likely work. I do have an eventual goal to control an audio amplifier's
power from a linux console though..
[I do realise I could build something, but I'd rather just find a stock
solution.]
For controlling one item, you're better off with a cheap mechanical time
switch...
If you're going to be controlling a load of things, X10 Appliance
Modules will be what you're after.
See X10.COM for details...
