I need a solution to (thru networked computers);
1) Have homeseer open winamp and start waking my boys during the weekdays, getting louder the longer they ignore it (maybe changing the sound file to a crying baby if they ignore it for x amount of time, on time I can set).
2)Allow wife to (thru touch screen also) select a networked computer and tell him to come to dinner. Play a pre recorded sound file "go to bed you boys) at the touch of a button (in the room they are noisey in).
3) See if computer is being used, or is on, and if its too late (possibly pre-determined time, like school nite) and then send a pop-up screen telling them the computer will go off in xx minutes (the comp monitor will be their TV, so I want to be able to cut off internet or cable service whenever I want. Maybe even for a week if they are grounded.
Too much? If so, I'll have to resort to manual beatings again, but our new house will make for a bit more walking (and the new neighbors don't need to hear us yelling at the boys every 10 minutes)
