X10 speaker control ???

["David Claxton" <UKHA@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,
      I'm going to fit speakers to all the rooms
in my house and I was planning
on having a speaker switch or volume control in each room. I was just
wondering if it's possible to also link up an X10 MS13 sensor to the
speakers to switch them on when someone is in the room and then switch
them
off if they leave the room.

My thinking is along the lines of sending announcements to the speakers.
If
someone is in one of my bedrooms listening to music and someone is in
the
kitchen not listening to music, the person in the kitchen would still
want
the ability to hear any announcements over the speakers. So that would
mean
if the phone rang I would want it to announce who was calling in all
the
rooms where people were, therefore I need a system that would auto switch
on
the set of speakers in the kitchen, the announcement would be heard,
then
switch them back off (also to be able to mute the stereo while the
announcement was in progress and then un-mute it would be nice)

Also the ability to override the system and say if someone leaves the
room
leave the speakers switched on would be nice.

I am also planning to buy Homeseer, it looks powerful enough to help me
on
my way to do this sort of stuff, it was just the connecting the X10
system
to the speaker system that I can't figure out.

Any ideas ????
