Wiindow curtain control

Hackszine reader clickthegoogleads wrote to us about a set of Wiimote controlled curtains:

The curtain control system is an existing system from Goelst and is called "G-Rail 6200". Normally it is controlled by infrared or wallswitches. However, it can also be controlled with a CAN bus. I used this CAN bus to interface with an old PC. ... GlovePIE has no function to send messages to a CAN bus. So I started up my good old visual basic and made a little program that handles the CAN messaging. In the first version I used the keypressed event. I made a GlovePIE script that sends out keyboard keys when the Wiimote has a certain orientation and voila... L is for left, R is for Right and S is for Stop.

Is there anything that Wiimote can't do?
