Has anyone devised a way to shut down a PC using X10 ?
My son is always leaving his PC turned on and I would like to automate a
way of cleanly shutting it down and switching off. My best guess so far is
to butcher an Appliance module so that the relay is isolated from the mains
and have it short the "Shutdown" button on the PC. I'd have to
send ON then OFF to stop it holding the shutdown button in and so switching
off immediately, another appliance module could then disconnect the mains a
few minutes later.
Failing that can I shut it down by sending a message over the network ? His
PC is running XP Pro and the main house server is running Win2K Pro.. I
guess this must be possible since BlasterWorm manages to do it across the
t'internet
