Sure, Tony.
But those RF modules can be made working with a PIC and some simple 
buttons. USB cames later if you ever need it.

You may want to computer control or rather "network-aware", when, for 
example, you want to auto activate them according to temperature outside 
or anyway at the floor (and not at the ceiling).
I know you may not care a thing about this all :-) I was just suggesting 
since I love these kind of things !
