It's very simple.
I want to plug a lamp into the UK mains supply.
I want to be able to power it on and off from software - say from serial port commands, or by running a command-line or something I can get to from ruby or Java.
I see lots written about how to do this with X10 with American power systems - but has anybody actually tried doing this in the UK?
If you got this working:
1) Exactly what hardware did you use?
2) How do you control it from software?
Thanks!
