My husband set up x10 in our house. I hate it. He turns the lights off on
me.
One night I was all alone and the lights kept going on. (we are not hooked
up via the web). Turns out another neighbor in our condo had the same code
as us and when they turned on their lights, ours went on and vice versa.
I never use it. It's really not necessary for us, just another techy toy
for him.

Jeffry,
There's a CFX in the developer's gallery that allows you to do exactly this,
provided you have an X-10 system installed. Here's the link and description:
http://devex.allaire.com/developer/gallery/info.cfm?ID=CA347286-2830-11D4-AA
9700508B94F380&method=Full
CFX_X10 makes it possible to control devices in your home of office (e.g.,
Lights, Toasters, Coffee Makers, etc.) from any web browser. This tag sends
direct commands to a serial port device on the server, which then transmits
the commands across the existing house wiring.
I'm looking at setting something like this up at home, just as soon as the
phone company sets up our DSL connection. Then again, knowing the proclivity
of some of my friends for practical jokes, it may not be such a good idea.
regards,
larry

I've been vindicated, I've been loved and hated
I've been pulled aside and told that I was overrated
