I've managed to fry 1 router already. I found my DS9097u but couldn't figure out how to power it since it robs power from CTS/RTS lines. So now I'm waiting on parts to use the DS2480.

As for the File System, I'm going to log to ramfs. I have to figure out if the data is actually worth keeping. If so, I might just do a simple udp write to a remote collector.

I made a mistake, Buzzsaw = Buzzbee's shell scripts for the WRT.

I've also picked up a WRT at Best buy since I blew up the other router. I really think this is going to work out great.

I'm sure I can collect the data, just need to know what to do with it at this point. I think you're right that I'll need a deamon of some type.

I have to think about software design now. Not the fun part for me. It needs to be modular for "event types", "input (sensor)" and "output (action)". That's about as much thought as I've put into it so far.

I'm north of you in the SF Bay area.
