UBW definitely looks affordable. Many links to start my research. Thanks everyone. Any thoughts on using on board Bluetooth to export commands to each device (and thus avoiding a complicated wire harness)? Is this compact and affordable (and easy to do)? Where might one find Bluetooth receivers (either re-purposed or raw receivers)? --- On Tue, 2/8/11, Erik Mitchell <erik.mitchell at gmail.com> wrote: From: Erik Mitchell <erik.mitchell at gmail.com> Subject: Re: [tclug-list] Looking for hardware and software solutions for controling devices.
