After a bit of digging, as a consequence of looking at xPL Monkey it seems this device uses the "HomeEasy UK" protocol. Cheapest transmitter I can find is here: http://www.rfxcom.com/transmitters.htm 82 euros! Bit pricy don't you think :)?

I have 3 mains adaptors which are operated by remote control in my room: http://www.focusdiy.co.uk/Wiring-Sockets-Switches+Fuses/Byron-Remote-Control-Indoor-Sockets/invt/217437 According to the remote control they operate at 433.92MHz. Basically I want to be able to control each switch...

I'm looking for some kind of device I can attach to my PC which will allow me to send RF signals to devices. Any ideas :)?

I love the web browsing on my iPhone, far better than anything else I've tried. Although I have to say it CAN be a little slow at times, at rendering.

I think it'd be against apple's T&Cs for you to do what you are suggesting.

Thanks for the link!

I'm fairly certain that manufacturers lock their keyboards to their own receivers. You might have luck with a logitech wireless keyboard, but you'd have to email their support.

Great build. I'm jealous :)!

On my old PC i had an audio-out on the back and front of my case. I always had my speakers plugged into the back, and when I wanted to watch a movie I'd plug my tv's audio-in to the audio-out on the front of my case, then i'd have sound coming out my pc speakers and also TV. Great solution for...

Thanks for all the replies. I went with the 8-pin and no explosions so far.
