Netbook as the room IT
======================

This is initially replaces a clock radio with a netbook and a simple clock/radio plugin.

The netbook serves as the single point of IT in the room.
(Use bigger/better speakers/TV as necessary.)


Using MediaPortal and the Clock, Internet Radio and Automation plugins

Home automation system (HomeSeer) can now -
	turn on the radio or tv
	dim the clock at night
	on movement*
		show the time dimmed
			or
		record from the web cam

(*Requires PIR sensor and uses the netbook webcam as a security camera, 
recording when there is movement and the house is vacant.)
