IIRC, the folks at PlutoHome appear to already be doing just this.
Source is open so you may want to have a look.
For further inspiration, have a look at the Nevo SL and embedded Nevo
from the folks at UEI. It is WIFI-based and bi-directional. Really,
really neat stuff. The embedded Nevo has been included within select
IPaqs for some time now. I know this won't be of practical interest to
the do-it-yourself crowd but the capabilities of what it can control are
nearly boundless.
