It looks like I may be able to, finally, get started into home control.  A couple weeks ago, I picked up a complete (except for the monitor) TRS-80 Color Computer (CoCo) model 2, complete with a Plug-N-Power cartridge, from our local E-Waste site. I haven't had a chance to check it out yet, but hope that I will be able to check it out soon.

Details at 11.  :D

That's awesome! I haven't used the X-10 stuff since 1999. For a while it was the only consumer option to really remotely turn things on/off. It will be interesting to see what you end up doing.

Well, I don't have the time, nor the energy to put into testing/fixing this thing up, so up for sale.

For closure to this thread: I have sold the CoCo home control system. Hopefully Peter can get it running, and show us his stuff.

I'm really excited to work on it, the best part is I'm sure getting my EE degree will help lol.
