Roy, hmmm RSL, your that funky clock guy aren't you? Yeah I thought so! HC1 is using the CC PLIX chip for 2-way X-10 control. I couldn't imagine doing a computer controlled X-10 based product without it! The hardwired part of it is currently using the A/D D/A type of conversion systems, however after examining the Echelon LONworks based chips, I think that I will drop the A/D D/A conversion hardware in favor of a LON based distributed control network. HC1 also has IR Receive and Transmit capabilities for your Audio/Video equipment that has no other type of control abilities. Before I start work on the LON integration I am currently working on adding the capability to control high-end A/V Receivers/Monitors/VCR's/LaserDisc Players via their own compu-link systems, like pioneers multi-room/multi-source hardwired control system built into all of their high end A/V equipment… Sorry for the long winded response! –Shawn I am afraid that I probably won't be able to make your less than $379.00 price wish true though, as my product does so much more than the enerlogic does. I think that I am looking closer the $1000.00+ range as far as price goes. I feel this is reasonable considering the Mastervoice Butler in a Box sells for $2495.00 and does so much less than my system. I haven't really even thought about pricing yet though, so don't hold me to the above price. Once the product is closer to completion I will see what I have invested in hardware and time into the product and make a pricing decision!
