$50 for the switch isn't that expensive given (a) it's WiFi controllable; (b) there's not much in the way of alternatives; and, (c) it's consumer focussed. Prior to the WeMo your best option for power socket control (as an amateur/DIY/Mak

While it's obviously early days, what I find most interesting about this is that it's (a) Adobe, (b) Open Source and (c) developing in the open. Does anyone know more about how this came to be/what the plans are for the future?
