This assumes a more automated home than I have ATM.
A popup on my PC is no good if I'm playing an FPS like Counterstrike -
it wouldn't pop up over the display.
I don't have any X10 lights ATM because of the inadequacies of the
retro-fit devices I've tried
ie: socket Rocket - no local control
Wall switch (can't remember the model) - no 'come on dim' option
etc.
More an issue in the summer when everyone is in the garden partying.
Even choosing not to move it, the power socket is about 1/2 way along
the hall, so I can't have dangly leads & it wouldn't look that nice
wall mounted there......
