As soon as one is able to dynamically control home appliances through a network
the possibilities for demonstrations opens up significantly. For example,
imagine a table with a number of JackNet devices like a fan, a thermostat, a
motion detector, a switch, an alarm, a number of lamp controllers, a cell
phone, etc.
People can just walk up to the table and start jacking together whatever kind
of system they would like and then configuring it using a graphic wiring tool.
Of course, the Embedlet wiring tool is still a ways off but in the mean time
they could use JackNetBASIC in order to configure their systems (because it is
so simple to use).
Anyway, the JackNet controller boxes are designed to work with all world power
systems and you can help out a bit here by telling me if the PC power supplies
over there use a standard power supply cord that plugs into power supplies like
this one:

The JackNet devices can control up to 240 volt appliances and I am hoping to
leverage the PC power supply connertor standards (both male and female) for
them.
