|
Description :
BottleRocket is a command-line interface for Unix systems to use the
FireCracker kit. It is easy to use, has all of the major (non-gui)
functionality of the Windows interface, is easy to call from scripts and the
backend code is made to be easily linked into other programs.
The FireCracker kit consists of a dongle-like RF transmitter that connects
to the serial port of a PC, and a receiver that plugs into a wall socket and
intercepts the signals, passing them on through house wiring to other units
that turn appliances on/off or dim/brighten lamps. It doesn\'t support any
kind of 2-way communication, unlike some of the other X10 products.
