If you don't mind me asking were you going to use girder and windows? Were
you going to write it yourself? Would an embedded or linux solution be ok?
Sorry to ask so many questions, I'm designing equipment for the company I
work for www.digitalglu.com (shameless plug) and we're working on home
control. We already have whole house audio, UPnP, Squeezebox (the squeezebox
has a very nice way to send commands to a pc via IR)
What are the cost restrictions on this project?
