What about this, the Orvio units? There\'s a WiFi controller that may have scope for direct Comfort control.
The post is below but the summary is :
The short of it is:
The socket communicates via UDP on port 10000
You need to know the MAC address of your socket
You send a discovery packet to which the socket replies
You then \'subscribe\' to the socket in order to control it
When you send on / off packets to the socket, it replies in turn with it\'s current state
EDIT: There\'s a further breakdown of the protocol here: http://pastebin.com/0w8N7AJD . Credit goes to Nozza87 on the Ninja Blocks Forum
2016 EDIT: The code mentioned is no longer up to date. You can now install node-orvibo, which controls this, the AllOne IR blaster, and can (sort of) do schedules and such. Either install via npm install --save node-orvibo or check out the code here: http://github.com/grayda/node-orvibo
Note that the Orvibo S10 / S20 sockets are sold under a variety of names, including Arlec PC180. See the GitHub page for an (incomplete) list of brand names and places to buy them.
