Answers:
The answer is a qualified "yes." You can connect your lights and appliances to X10-based switches and dimmers, and use the X10 Telephone Responder to control them remotely by phone. This will not allow you to turn on a microwave, because microwaves require their buttons to be pushed. But you could control lights, appliances and HVAC remotely with the right X10 receiver connected. See the links below for some phone-based controllers. Source(s): http://www.smarthome.com/5001.html
