[comp.sys.atari.8bit] Control of lighting devices

Several years ago a friend of mine had a setup for his trash-80 machine
which he could use to control the lights in his house.  You can buy the
units for switches and outlets easily enough.  Is there a control unit which
uses an RS232 port or something?  Has anyone done this with an Atari?

YES, there is a program/package for your Atari that can control lighting.
I wrote it.  It's called "The PowerManager" and is available from:
