Anyone know of a product that allows you to control an outlet via an RF transmitter connected to a PC?
I know there's DIY hobby solutions RF transmitters that connect to the PC via the parallel port, where you can then solder wires from the the RF receiver to the device you want to control.. however, all I need is to turn on/off an outlet via the PC.
Ideally, I'd like to write my own software (running in Linux or Windows) that tells the transmitter to output the on / off command... isn't there's some clap-on/clap-off like device that plugs into an ac outlet, and turns on/off power to any device connected to it when commanded via an open-protocol RF signal?
