Why avoid X10? It seems to be pretty well supported in Linux and
power-line carrier really does seem the right way to go to control
stuff that's already connected to power.
Just curious.
As was previously mentioned, X10 is too simplistic for what I would
like to do. If I understand it correctly, it is more of an "on"/"off"
0/1 type solution. How can I dim my lights or make complex climate
control changes on that protocol? I suppose that being in Network
Programming I tend to like IP solutions (way more options in my
opinion). And since I can pre-plan everything on a new house, I can
pre-wire exactly what I need, (any complex controllers I can find out
there). I am not restricted by having to use a standard house set up
(signaling over power lines).
