Blog2012 ≫ We have come up with a genuinely useful use for the lightwaverf remote sockets!

It's Clare's idea too, so it's very exciting for me that she's getting involved in my new hobby.

So, when thing two cries in the night and he's ready for his next feed, and it's my turn, I have to head down to the kitchen and get the bottle from the fridge. But it's too cold, so I have to boil the kettle to warm the bottle, which takes time, and he's still crying. My dream idea1 here2 is to set something up that detects the sound and boils the kettle, but Clare's clever compromise is to be able to remotely operate the kettle from upstairs. So that's what I'm going to try and do today! Then we just need to leave the kettle with water in, and turned (but the lightwaverf remote socket turned off) and then I can turn it on from upstairs.
