Its a simple idea whereby control signals are \u2018piggy-backed\u2019 on top of the electrical current running through your house, these signals can tell a specific receiver to switch on or off.<\/p>\n<p>Anything can be plugged into the receivers socket and so can be controlled. Somewhere in your house you will need the controller, typically a CM11 or CM12 unit. You plug it into the wall socket and a wire from it goes into the back of your computer so it can send signals.<\/p>\n<p>The final piece of the puzzle is the software to send these signals to the CM11\/CM12. There are several to choose from on Windows, some free, some not, on the Mac, there\u2019s two that I know of both commercial and quite expensive, so as usual, I wrote my\u00a0 own, and this is it.
