[QUOTE="NickName, post: 156832, member: 21675"] Yes, there is a cool looking MP plugin for Home Automation. I haven't tried it but the screenshots make me drool. :-) You can buy adapters for home automation so that it works over the existing wiring. For example you just buy a light bulb adapter, plug your bulb into it, and plug the adapter where the bulb goes. You can then communicate (turn on and off) the bulb from a controlling device (ie. Mediaportal plugin and relevant hardware). Note: The devices would have to be on the same wiring circuit for the communication to be successful. I believe a single story house (in Australia) would be OK but obviously any Aussie electricians or Home Automation gurus can/should correct me. I will be going down the Home Automation path myself shortly so I am interested to hear how you go :-) Good luck, Nick Name. [/QUOTE]
