Home Automation

I’ve thought about this for a long time now but I haven’t really found anything that I’ve liked or that seemed simple enough for me to work with.  I’ve even thought about finding an electrical engineer and working with them to build the hardware side of what I need to do the home automation projects I’ve been wanting to do.  Recently I’ve been thinking about trying to do some research on this again and this time around I’ve found something interesting… X10.  At this point I’m not even certain what it is but I have found talk of people who have used c# software programs to control X10 enabled devices.

It looked kind of exciting to me so I think I’ll figure out what I would need to purchase and see if I might be able to add some automation into my custom home theater software.
