Re: What is BSR?

BSR used to make a remote control system through which you could control 
the lights and electrical appliances in your house. The system consisted 
of special light-switches and plug in modules. Originally, the system was 
controlled from a small box with buttons which pluged into an electrical 
outlet. A number of companies started to make computer driven controllers 
for the system which, when used with the appropriate software, could 
completely automate the appliances. I believe some of these controllers 
were made for the Apple ]['s.
