I actually still have all of this stuff (uninstalled it from my previous house when we moved) but none of it is hooked up, with the exception of one remote socket so we can remotely reset our stupid linksys router without going upstairs.
The new house has a TON of 3-way switches (meaning two switches control one light) as you walk through it...basically a switch at the beginning and end of every discrete area (living room, stairs, hall, dining room, etc) so I need to get slightly different switches to be able to automate everything here.
I'm slowly researching methods I could use to automate the air conditioning, though...being a 2-story regularly exposed to 110 degree weather, we have serious hot-room/cold room issues, and I would love to chop the house into separately controllable zones. I'd need to be able to do it for less than approximately $500 to justify it as a cost savings measure, instead of just chilling the holy bejesus out of the whole house all the time.
