My name is Steve Cook and I manage http://www.nannycam.net Is it possible to connect a lamp to an X10 light module and finally to a pc. Then I want to be able to insert software into a webpage on my website to allow anyone visiting the webpage to turn on/off the lamp with just a click of a mouse.

I do not want to have to write the software that needs to be inserted into a webpage, but just have to insert code from X10 into the website's webpage. Can it be done without having to go and login to x10's webpage at http://myhouse.x10.com/

There was some discussion, but never a final resolution that I can see at this poast http://meedio.com/forum/ntopic24806.htm ... f03841bacd

Using HouseBot and the External Control plugin (which includes a COM control that you can link from an ASP page) you can do this. However, if you just want to turn a light on and off from a web page, it's a bit much to have to install and configure everything.... but it can be done.

there are a number of free products outside of meedio that can do this simple feat. Free with web interface, try http://www.x10controller.com/.

But don't forget to come back to housebot when you need more :)
