Well, I just ordered a few more modules late last week, so they should be
here within a year or two... basically the only thing I could think of
using it for was more lamps, since my new appartment has NO LIGHTS in the
living room or bedroom, so I got a few more lamp modules and a screw-in
lamp module.
I have to admit, I did compile the commandline utility, I tested to see if
it works and I haven't used it since! I really don't need to turn on the
lights in the living room from the computer... my latest order's supposed
to include a couple of free remote switches, so I can have remotes in each
room that has lights.
So my message is pretty much off topic, isn't it? (:
