I've just posted a new plugin:
http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/BottleRocket.html

It uses X10 "firecracker" hardware and the Unix/Linux "bottlerocket"
command to turn on specific devices  when you turn on specific
Squeezeboxes (and turns them off when you turn off your Squeezeboxes).

I use it for controlling power to the receiver I use with  my SB2. It's
a good receiver, but lacks remote control & I'm too lazy to walk over
and press its power button.

The plugin is probably Linux/Unix only at this point. There seems to be
a cross-platform Perl X10 module that would probably work on Windows. Is
anyone seriously interested in that? Mac -- I dunno, it seems like it's
been ages since I've heard of anyone using a serial device like an X10
Firecracker on a Mac.

Please post feedback or email me. I'd like to hear what you think.

-Peter
