The device has the same form-factor as a conventional mains dual electrical outlet.
It also has an RJ45 socket and a Type A USB socket on the front.
It also incorporates an Ethernet-Over-Mains bridge, the USB socket provides 5V @ 100 mA, and the dual outlets can be remotely switched by signals
sent over the Ethernet connection.
The power sockets and network nodes are individually addressable.
Can be quickly DIY retrofitted to any home or business.

Good idea if not already baked [+], especially the USB part. |

With those power-line ethernet systems, can your neighbours(*) see all your network traffic too?
(* Actually not your neighbours, at least not in the UK where, usually, the power line in the street is 3-phase and each house gets a single phase of (roughly) 220VAC, so your neighbours aren't connected to the same power as you, but the people 3 doors down the road might be.) |
