ok, while I appreciate the use of Win Workflow, here my "green" question. Doesn't it take more power to run a computer that monitors your lights than you would save if you left them on and didn't have the computer running?

My computer is always running for other reasons. It's a media center, it runs my sprinkler system, my security system, and a few other things. It also shuts off the monitor and drives when thery're not in use, so it doesn't draw much power.

This looks like a very interesting project. Quite a bit of time has passed since the article was written and I was wondering if any additional development has been done particularly with the Elk class. Has anyone expanded the Elk class to allow use of the RS232 port? If not I may attempt to modify the code to allow for RS232 serial communication since I have an Elk M1G but do not have the ethernet option. I did see the robotics article, but thought I might keep things simple and use straight vb.net (or C# if I am not able to convert the code from C# to vb.net). I had been thinking about trying to write some vb.net code to talk to the Elk when I ran across this code that might be a good jump start for my home automation project.

@Brian I'd imagine getting it to work on a serial port is pretty straight forward. What is your exact problem?

Coding4Fun,

Thanks for your response.

I have not started yet, so I am not sure if I will have a problem or not. I was just curious if others had tried this project and if so, how well did it work out for them.
