Ask HN: Best option for networking power outlets?

I'm trying to find a way to remotely - either through a wired hook-up or wireless signal - control a power outlet.

Basically, my ideal setup would be an ethernet or bluetooth controlled plug-in that I could attach to a wall outlet and pass other connections through. I don't want it to have its own software or independent remote though, since I'm trying to hack this into a larger app I'm building with the Kinoma Create.

Does anyone have any ideas for a cost-effective version? I'd love to be able to do my entire (small) apartment, with about 5-6 total outlets in use, for under $200 dollars. I also don't want to electrocute myself!

Thanks HN.
