Project Title:
    Device Communication Via Powerline Systems

Abstract:
     Device communication within the home has traditionally been accomplished via
     additional cabling: coax, cat5, etc. This adds great expense and 
     complications to those homes not already outfitted with these communication
     mediums. Our project entails communication over the existing powerline 
     infrastructure in order to control, schedule and monitor household devices.
     This user control will be expanded to facilitate remote communication over 
     the Internet. The prototype device is a standard household 110V wall socket,
     whose states can be controlled, scheduled and monitored, both locally and 
     remotely via a web page.
