My X10 units have gotten to be a pain for important stuff - in case my controller PC shuts down etc. There's a much less cool approach for $20 to $30 here as well. http://www.thermostatpowerstrip.com/?p=30 - I like it with the integrated timer too. Though no cool charts. :) Nice application.

It worked well enough for me until I switched houses and then it was about 30% reliable, not exactly stellar, lol. Using insteon now, but I think the house wiring has a lot to do with x10 reliability. Nice job – Have you found the X10 to be reliable enough?

Nice use of Linux, even though Ubuntu isn't my favorite. However that's an older version of OWFS. We're up to 2.7p24 as of yesterday. Deb versions should catch up within the week. Hello!

A photosensor feeding a relay to run the fan in the daylight or an old mercury switch t-stst would use the least amount of electricity.
