• You get a linux based system, running your custom softwares 24/7 with a power consumption of only 4.5W.



• Connect an IP webcam, embed the video feed in web page



• Ability to send out custom serial commands to any external device.

(be aware of the 3V3 serial voltage levels, I would strongly advise you to use CD40106 as a buffer)



• In this application you are able to send out any possible RF commands (based on the RF protocol) to the receivers. (i.e. no limitations on button numbers on the remote control)



How stable is it?

The system will not miss any commands, thanks to the TCP/IP Internet protocol and to the sophisticated microcontroller firmware.



Further improvements:

Tap into the switched outlet's RF receiver, add a MCU, detect data pattern, output IR code and you will get an Internet based remote controlled, remote control :D



Write software for the router that can handle incoming serial data.

YES you will be able to Twitt from your router (e.g. power consumption reports from external measuring devices).

Or do old school things like SMS two way control, home alarm system, IR repeater (through web), scheduler program to automatically control things on time bases.



Here is the original SmartLinc web page (it uses AJAX, and runs on AVR web server!)

This is a good way to start developing web pages.



Don't forget to share what have you done with this project.
