+--- | Brant> I'm interested in doing some experimentation with X-10 | | That's just one way to go. +--- I was just looking for remote power cycling devices (via phone, or whatever else) to manage a machine room while there are no staff around....and this message popped up. Has anyone used the X-10 stuff for this type of application? Is there a better way to go? My idea is to have one phone based power cycle device on the machine that has a dialin and the X-10 based controller. If that machine goes down, you can remotely reboot it. Onc its back up, you can power cycle any other locked up machines... just a thought. If someone has recommendations on a better way to do this, that is cost effective, I'd love to hear about it. --Gene -- Gene W.
