Automated power sockets

["Paul Robinson" <ukcueman@xxxxxxx>]

I'm planning on very few automated power sockets, apart from 5 amp sockets
in my lounge.

What sort of things do people use them for? Automated rebooting of sky
boxes, plug-in
lights and curtain control, but what else?

I was thinking of having one in the kitchen so I could boil the kettle for
when I get up,
but I'm shying away from that on safety grounds.

Thanks,
Paul
