Oh absolutely. But with a huge smile on my face. I mean, I'm probably
not going to actually do it .. I'm more curious about whether it's
possible and affordable yet or whether we've a few more years to go.

Yes, it would have to be transmit on request I guess, rather like a
web page.

I seen, for instance, pet feeders that, on request ding a bell, reveal
food, get the cats and dogs to come and eat, and send back the
pictures. That would be on request, but I suppose that peripheral has
mains power and a net connection.
