I am just thinking how I could use this in my house.  I am thinking of
using
a different resistor in each plug and then using analog inputs (instead of
digital inputs) to read the voltage of each one.  This would allow for more
than 2 or 3 key "plugs" and it would also allow for any of the
plugs to be
inserted into any of the sockets and still be detected correctly.

I think Comfort can read the analog voltage of its digital inputs.  I also
have HomeVision with the expansion board and so have analog inputs there
too.
