Re: Simple home automation setup

Take a look at www.x10.com. You need an X10 wall switch to replace your
existing switch, an X10 timer to turn them off at 1am and an X10
Sundowner to turn them on at dusk. This is a minimum configuration. Look
at their product line and you'll see other ways that also give you more
functions. Enjoy the exploration and ask away if you have more qestions.
