D-Link Announces Affordable Wi-Fi Smart Plug
If you’re sold on Home Automation (HA) the cost, while sometimes unpleasant, is just part of what it takes to accomplish the larger goal. For those who aren’t as convinced or have simpler targets, spending a couple hundred dollars to “smart” one plug is a hard sell, which is where an item like the just announced D-Link DSP-W110. For $40 you can get your feet wet, or setup an easy mechanism for rebooting those problematic HD-PVRs :).
Full PR after the break.
