For everyone who complains that Twitter is a waste of time, here’s a video of Justin Wickett who uses it to control his house lights, saving on his electric bill and potentially scaring off would-be robbers.
Control Lights with Twitter from Justin Wickett on Vimeo.
Sure, you don’t need Twitter to do this … there are plenty of existing non-Twitter options, like Indigo, xPL Monkey, Smarthome, or Automated Home.
Of course, why stop at automating your lights?
(Hat tip to Engadget commenters for suggesting the automation options.)
Thanks for providing a link to Smarthome.com - could you fix it, it is broken. thanks!
