    Hi all,

    This could be a cheap way of turning your heating on/off at the mains.

    Belkin Wemo switch - $50 in the States, due to launch a 3 pin uk/ireland version this month.

    It's a controllable socket, you can control it from anywhere.
    I have an electrical mains switch but surely this could be wired into this somehow?

    How would you overcome the permanent power supply that the boiler needs?

    The only thing i can see this being good for is phone sex after that who cares about turning on a lamp / hair dryer or even a boiler if you could.

    Heating can already be controled by means of GSM dialler and enabled controller.
