X10 allows that sort of thing, at a fairly basic level.

Yup, you can do all that, if I understood you correctly, either using X10
or a wired system, either controlled by a PC or a standalone controller.

Been done, should work, costs money, various different systems
available. But I might have missed some subtlety in your question asking
about some aspect that _hasn't_ been done, so you don't have to shut up :-)
X10, Homevision, Comfort etc spring to mind and there are other ones like
InstaBus, CAN etc which I'm not so familiar with- if none of those mean
anything to you, have a look at Mark McCall's pages at

BTW: Did you buy that new car yet?
If not, check this site out.
They're called CarsDirect.com and it's a pretty sweet way to buy a car.
