[ale] OT: Ethernet over power line

[Alex Carver]

No can drink beer so no beer fridge for me (although the regular
refrigerator is scheduled to get a set of sensors soon, too.)

The BBQ and smoker would get real controllers so I can write temperature
profiles for cooking/smoking every type of meat.  Because meat.  And
better than meat is automatic meat.

The washer and dryer I put on because I was lazy and didn't want to run
to the garage to check when the cycles were done (it sends a broadcast
Growl GNTP message out to my computers and my phone).

The attic controls the fan and an inside vent so I can open up and draw
in cool night air and close it up when the temperature outside warms up.
 I'm working on slave units that will run the windows and sliding doors.
