This sounds great1, no other hardware required (except a piece of wire connected to one pin of of your raspberry pi and in theory you can control all your lightwaverf devices. People have worked out the codes for lots of other radio frequency controlled sockets anyway.
I have a raspberry pi controlling all of my lightwaverf devices, though still using the wifi link. Just install this code2 and you too can have raspberry pi based control of lightwaverf, including an api that you can do stuff with, or just calendar based timers of your devices. You can also just
gem install [lightwaverf](/wiki/#lightwaverf)no need to check out the source code unless you want to.
raspberry pi: Credit card sized super cheap computer, awesome.
