<i>"Users can remotely control lights..."</i><p>Bzzt. Stop talking about controlling lights! No average consumer is going to put a new module + $25 Imp card in every light switch in their house. But hey, let's put a single Imp in an X-10 controller and do it that way! Now I'm still rewiring every switch and messing with neutral bus bar jumpers? C'mon.<p>Getting devices on the net is nifty. Let's start with the big items first. Thermostat is a good place to begin. But now we already have wifi thermostats. So why do we need Imp?
