Control lights in your house with your computer

Step 3 Play around with a script

I made a Python script that basically just connects to the SDM socket server and sends messages to the PLC Controller downstairs. You can do fun stuff like flashing the lights on and off. A more practical thing to do is setting it on a timer to wake you up in the morning. Actually, you can program timers into the PowerLinc Controller directly if you use InHomeFre or other software.

You have a little more control when you code the script yourself.
