http://www.ebay.com buy it now $55

After taking a quick look at the specs, I get the feeling this might be
a good deal for someone who is into controlling stuff with X10s (or TTL).

I was looking at those temperature sensors and thinking they might be
a good way of using X10 controls to switch off my Sanyo ASHP units,
when they aren't needed.

I could switch them off with X10 modules (which I do now manually on one unit)
and save some power that is normally used in standby mode.
(Heating the crankcase oil & keeping the controllers running).

The control program could be based on time, indoor temp, outdoor temp, occupancy and user input..

Might even be cool to put my alarm system on a timer ANDed with motion sensor input.
