Ha ha! The USB Gizmo (prototype) is ready...

I have just about completed my USB controlled gizmo for activating my ceiling fan from across the internet!

Martin, that's terrific. Well done.

If you could now please find a way for me to switch on the lights, central heating and the kettle when I am within 200 metres of my front door, I ... well, I'd buy you a beer.

I posted it on the wrong forum Mike - although it is VFP controlled! Does that count!

It could do all those things though Mike, as long as you had a phone with a browser and ... well you can figure the rest out. B-)

It will control up to eight digital thingies and two analogue ones (although channel 8 is a bit dodgy, as it flashing during initialisation - so you kettle would go on, off and then on again before going off until you needed it!).

I wonder what effect that would have on the taste of the tea.

Who mentioned tea? You said kettle, not teasmaid!

Teasmaid? I didn't spend the best years of my life struggling with Visual FoxPro just to end up with a teasmaid. No, I'm a kettle man, and always will be.
