HOme monitering (temperature sensors and
thermostat control)

security deactivation panel (to deactivate a
security system (for those who dont have a
remote to turn it off but have a code)

touchpad remotes (like touchscreeen ones for
a living room that can controle a lot of
lghts ect)

Software for a handheld PDA to monitor and
control the system (via a network connection
maybe?)

Computer monitoring (monitor and control
systems within the home, control programs
like email, and weather forcasts ect.

Voice rec?

I also forgot, window and door sensors! for
the security features I thought about

Your ideas are all valid.  Remote monitoring
devices have been operating in these
protocols since we were first able to 'burn'
PROM's.  The question now is how we adapt
remote scripting to programable firmware.

Many of these devices (hardware) already
exist in the PIC / AVR project forums.  An
incoming TCP/IP packet can be specifically
recognized by the EEPROM and then output the
appropriate action sequence locally.  This
approaches a whole other area of RISC
programme development.

Take heart, someone will develop the link if
they spend the time to do it.
Cheers, Ian

While I consider myself a geek and a nerd
some of those acronyms went right over my head

If you're running Win98 or above, voice
recognition is possible.  See my web-site

Michael:
Computer acronyms are a progressive list.
RISC = Reduced instruction set computational
language - the command set that is used in
the controllers that are often used in
purpose specific or dedicated applications.
Firmware is just this set of instructions
programmed into the non-volatile (ROM) area
of a processing chip.  For a comprehensive
listing, see http://www.ciw.uni-
karlsruhe.de/kopien/babel.html .  This site
also includes country domain codes and other
electronics definitions.  Don't ever be
appologetic for NOT being aware of terms or
developments.  Technologies are moving so
quickly, even a specialist like myself,
cannot be expected to keep up!  Cheers, Ian.
