Looking for an inexpensive home automation system that can be controlled remotely? Look no further than Twitter and iLink INSTEON. "Using Twitter, a new social networking site, you can set up your laptop and connect it to your light switches (or any other electrical device) and control the device by sending text messages to your twitter account. It’s a fairly simple setup using this software which controls this hightech lightswitch" Via: HacknMod |

Given the latency introduced through SMS->Network Provider->Twitter->Parser->Lighting, you’d be frustrated in no time of real use… Neat for show though.
