You should be able to do it with the Pro version of Dragon
NaturallySpeaking.  I have done something similar with DragonDictate and the
X10 Firecracker http://www.x10.com/firecracker/fc_offer_br1.htm.  X10 was
giving them away for the price of shipping for a long time, alas, no more:-(

Keep in mind that with Dragon NaturallySpeaking Pro, you can create macros
to send any keyboard commands and even mouse functions.

Subject: Question re: Dragon and IBM Home Director


hi All

The AT project that I work for is looking into purchasing a small
environmental control system for our demonstration center.  We're looking at
IBM's Home Director Kit, but want to know if it's compatible with Dragon
NaturallySpeaking.  Can a person set-up routines and such using DNS and Home
Director?  The execution of the routines, of course would be no problem, but
what about executing commands from the computer that aren't part of a scene
or routine?  We have DNS already, so it would  definitely be an advantage if
they worked together.  I've searched on the web, and haven't found any
discernible answer to this question.

We're wanting to go with this "low-end" solution because we want to give
people a basic idea of what's possible with ECU/home automation rather than
present an exhaustive system.
