First part of this you can do with the Zeo - They have programming API's that allow you to use a port on the Zeo for real-time data access. The rest of your requirements are up to you to provide!

Whoa. Thank you so much -- I didn't realize the Zeo could actually talk to anything in real time.

I've done most of the other parts several times; maybe I should make a packaged service in January. There are probably plenty of people with macs, maybe with big TVs attached, in bedrooms, with Internet access; adding the Zeo and some kind of computer-controlled lighting (optional) isn't much to ask.

Unfortunately having to mess with a serial port is so 1995. I wonder if anyone will make a simple serial to bluetooth dongle so the whole thing can be done from an iphone/ipad, or if it will end up with serial to usb to PC.
