Young’ns do it differently today… “Alexa, turn on the EPROM eraser for 15 minutes.” “Okay” These kids today...

Well, I was using it to run an UV EPROM eraser, so I don't know if that's home automation. The hardware was almost entirely not the point, the "hack" was doing it quickly with a Ruby script using the flow control lines on a USB->RS232 adapter. I figured a lot of young'ns probably didn't know about that.
Thanks, Jonathan
