I used to hear a lot more about "smart" appliances than I do now. I know there have been some companies that have worked on developing outlet adapters that allow you to control some basic functionality over a network, but the smart appliance craze seems to have died down as of late.

could you give any examples with names of companies that are doing the outlet adapters that you mention? I'd like to view them further.
