As I said, I'd like to use Leds, maybe RGB (already worked with them, in 
a couple of apps). Only waiting for lumens to raise and price to fall :-)

Yep. Those RS485 modules all around, driving Lamps, window closures, 
thermometers, hygrometer, power measurement, iButton for house access, 
LCD panels, IR receiver, a FMradio on serial port, mp3, webcam, and so 
on (voice synthesis/answering machine at doorbell is one of the nicest :-).
I wrote the software in C++ for Windows. Web server is home made too. A 
kind of experimenting/work in progress laboratory, started in 1996 (but 
powered by Microchip only since 2002).
