Hi all,
I have bought my X10 package and installed it and works like charming. Now I want to control lights, appliance, camera (and possibly garage door) from my iphone over the 3G network (lets say from my friend place). I find it extremly annoying to have a computer ALWAYS on just for this purpose. I have been searching the past couple of days for ways to get around it (unless there is a string reason why I should leave my computer on the whole day).
I found what's called a SmartLinc which is a device that you hook one end to the router and one end to an electrical outlet and it listens for my commands from my iphone. Now this is something I find cool .It is 130$ though so it is fairly cheap. My question is, any alternatives out there? Any X10 similar device or even non X10 device that would be compatible with my x10 modules? Ideas....?
Please help as I am very excited to expand my automation
Thanks
