WEMOTE-PI

Home control systems have come a long way since the X10 days, but they are still hideously expensive on a per outlet basis.  Luckily, some cheap electronics from China  and a R PI can change all that.  I came across some hardware that will allow one  to control the power to five outlets in one's house,

but it only includes one remote.  What I propose is connecting the remote to the PI, and the PI to the internet to control the selected outlets wirelessly and remotely. Yes, Belkin has the WEMO, but at $50/outlet (retail ) , that is a bit steep.  I figure with the R PI and the cheap Chinese toy I could do the same for about $10/outlet.
