[Novalug] How to create a custom GUI to run ssh commands

I have an ubuntu box that controls my home lighting using x10 and heyu
on my LAN. I would like to create a custom gui interface on my main box
that allows me to click a 'living room on' button (and other systems)
that sends a command ssh remote 'heyu turn livingroom on'. I have
already set the remote box with ssh passwordless public keys. I'm
looking for a way to create the interface on the local box that will
group the lighting systems with on and off buttons. Are there any gui
builders out there that would fit this need? I am a not a proficient
programmer.

Thanks,
