If you're one of those forward-thinking people who likes the idea of being able to control the temperature of your oven over the internet, or the speed at which your dryer heats your clothes, then you might be interested in the latest upgrade of HomeSeer for Windows Media Center Edition.HomeSeer is a British-based company that specialises in home control software, including lights, appliances, thermostats and audio/video.
They've now released the second-generation of their MCE interface, which links in with HomeSeer-enabled devices and products.
HomeSeer claims to be operational in some 10,000 homes in the UK, but I'd be tempted to say those numbers are probably a little ambitious.
All the same, there's two things I'd love to be able to do automatically, either over the internet, or by email or phone; control the thermostat on my central heating, and set the lights around the house to come on at certain times.
Maybe one day...
The HomeSeer upgrade should be available any time now from www.homeseer.com
