[clug] Home automation interest

[Paul]

I've done a bit of research but just an update on my Home automation project.

I spoke to SolarHart about my booster switch and looks feasible.
I need to get a relay (contactor) installed on the booster circuit and then I can put a 
automation switch to control that.
So now just need to check out Linux Home automation s/w thats compatible with the modules 
and scripting I want to use..
