Well my remote control frenzy is almost complete.
Using an eee-box + microsoft infrared reciever and some custom hardware I can now control:

• my stereo (radio, amplifier and cd player).
• MPD (My music)
• My desk light, my room light (halogen) and big light.
• 1 other device.
• Enable alarms/Disable alarms.

So what is still todo??

• Open/close window
• Luxaflex.

The last I might be able todo with my lego mindstorm kit.
