Home Automation...Anyone Intrested?

I am currently working on a home automation system. The system will be centrally controlled by a router. The system will allow you to turn on and off your lights or any other ac device which you wire it into using a computer or a phone, basically anywhere with internet access. You will also be able to access the system when you are away from home, such as at work, etc. I will also build media servers as an addition to the home automation system. I would like to know if anyone is intrested in me manufacturing extra ones to sell. I will give technical support and more info later. I just am wondering if anyone is intrested in this device. It will be very professional looking, just as if it was purchased from a store.

Can you beat the price and quality of X-10 products?

Im going to try my best to beat their quality and price. But, i also am making each device custom for the customer. The customer will list their needs for the device (how many items to control, how to control it, size requirements, etc....) and offer me a price, we will negotiate, i will make the device, make sure the customer is satisfied, recieve the money and ship it to him/her.

I am going to try to make sure the customer is happy with what her or her recieves, thats why i want all the information about what they want to automate ahed of time

Also, i am making the system controlable via text message, and computer
This will raise the cost, but it is still way cheaper than the x10 system
The x10 system gives you one module to control one item for 100 dollars
Mine controls at least 14-17.
The only drawback is communication to the outlets are wired. So you should wire it throughout your house, or i can make external outlets in the case. Post if intrested

I have worked on this for months and managed to make a SMS and Twitter controller for the x10 home automation system. It will enable you to remotely either tweet a command or send a text message from your phone to turn on/off and dim/brighten your devices. It will be available soon.Please post if your interested. Comments are much appreciated
