x10 usefull sites and a dark idea (was Re: X10 [was: Re: socket and serial port])

[Andre Garzia]

Hi folks,

I always liked x10 technology but it proibitive to import those to 
Brazil, the price for a light bulb interface reaches my budget to 
filling my gas tank. So I never tried it, but I collected this site 
that might be usefull:

http://www.hare.demon.co.uk/pyxal.html

it's a complete python implementation of an x10 controlling utility, it 
will even work by web and the like.... it's GPL and might give a hint 
or two how to implement things for those x10 hackers out there. Also, 
we can always build a python command line tool, a Revolution gui 
wrapper... this would work on any MacOS X, *nix system (they come with 
python) and in win32 boxes with python installed.

cheers
