[Coco] Color Computer "Appliance and Light Controller"

[Bruce Calkins]

I keep one in service.  It is the same as the X-10 light and appliance
controller series.  Jamco Electronics and Radio Shack still carry
components.  (They have gown and improved over the years too.)  You need a
receiver for each set of lights or appliance controlled.  It is it's own
base unit of sorts.  (I have a basic command line to send control codes
somewhere, and am still working on the OS-9 version.)
