This would get you started: http://cgi.ebay.com/CK18A-X10-4-Piece-FireCracker-Home-Control-Kit_W0QQitemZ350102414940QQihZ022QQcategoryZ50584QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
To power up and down amps, you'd want to get one of these: http://cgi.ebay.com/X10-Home-Automation-3-Prong-Appliance-Module-AM466_W0QQitemZ120307823108QQihZ002QQcategoryZ94879QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem Finally, if you'd rather use wired, rather than wireless control, you'd get one of these: http://cgi.ebay.com/X-10-Activehome-HC60RX-RCA-2-Way-Interface-CM11A-X10_W0QQitemZ260324295656QQihZ016QQcategoryZ50583QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I think peterw's PowerCenter plugin has all the other software that you need to control this stuff...i.e. windows versions of BR.exe "bottle rocket" or HEYU.exe -- "Heyu". In terms of ease of use....both the firecracker or the CM11A plug into a free serial (yes, serial, not USB) port on the back of the server. If you can handle a command line, you you'll be up and running with either the BR or HEYU utilities in no time. -- gharris999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
