RE: Electronic device control from RPG

What about voice recognition ? I'd love to be able to speak CL! On arriving home I could shout from my car CALL OPENGATE PARM(PWD)!

Reminds me of when I started out. I was under a lot of pressure and woke up one night in a sweat convinced that I was an RPGIII being called with the wrong parameters.

Even better than getting your PDP-8 or -11 to play Daisy, Daisy, tell me your answer true - or have HAL sing it to you!

But on a more serious note, it would be fun to just start out with
something simple like a talking to a motor that has three states:
stop, forward, backward - almost like a garage door. Imagine how cool
it would be to write a program that could open your garage door from
your Blackberry which makes a web services call to your AS400 which "calls"
the garage door - that would just be so geeky cool.

Yes Aaron, but you probably want the hay loaded in the stall where
you keep that horse, too!

I know that was said in jest, but the past couple years I have
really wanted to do a project that would have RPG "talking" to a
physical electronic device to automate something in my home (being
that I have an AS400 in my basement). Has anybody done such a project outside of work?
