Quoted from aingide:That sounds sweet. Has anyone else done something like this? Any documentation online? Something like flip a switch, room lights switch off, black lights switch on, the machines turn on, all while some "startup" audio track is playing.

anything you can think of, this can do ( for home automation) it controls all my TV's,heat,blinds,garage doors,automatically uploads all my itunes music, full interface and movie storage with google TV ., controls my waterfalls system in my pond, outdoor lighting (some kind of frequency LED's so i can switch the colors if i want to say red& green lighting on my trees at X-mas) my controller is the HC-800 ( have 2 ) and u can run a ton of 12v stuff like relays , motion controls. and all of your light switches are rf frequency so you can program them do do whatever, for instance my onsuite,hit the light once just turns the lights on, hit it 2X and it dims to what you like, and turns on a spa theme music and starts the fireplace in there for my mrs bath time. it can controll stuff to the milli second and i was going to do a jumping water shot from tree to tree then to my pond, but what a job!
my basement is being developed and in a hella mess or i would post pics of the rack.
