    This is a GREAT video!
    I wont be using SMS, but E-Mails directly.
    First thing I want to try out is the activation of the alarm system by my server (in case I forget it on a spontaneous trip).
    or turning off the heaters in the same scenario.
    or controlling some x10 stuff. So much potential 😀
