Squeezebox Server supports the xPL hope automation protocol through a
built in plugin. Essentially this puts a network message out reporting
the state of each of your squeeze players and you can configure home
automation devices to respond to this including turning power on and

Since it's an old SB3, you could try using Felix Mueller's PowerSwitchII

Thanks dudes. I'll start off down a local electronics store and see if

Hi,
I was thinking of moving my squeezebox boom into my bedroom and using
it as an alarm clock (squeezeplug server connected) and moving my SB3
