AlertMe Smart Plug
AlertMe Smart Plug
These modules seem interesting.
Costing $45, they allow you to control the power usage of any wall socket device, and remotely turn it on/off.
I guess it won't be hard to buy the modules and then find a way to use it with our own custom software so we don't need to pay the subscription service.
