So many questions about automatic lighting

Like most devices associated with domotics I watch pretty carefully all the recent devices created by consortiums such as Home Automation Inc and SmartLabs.
The thing is these recent items created are not so much as much of a movement as one would imagine since this stuff could be built other ways utilizing available readily available stuff but for beginners they are offered as a clean little package. That and you won’t feel like you need fluke testers around the house to figure it out.
There are numerous similarities amongst the various technologies. For instance, almost none of them use cordless items as RF relays, and they all use radio waves to strengthen signals. Looking deeper however, things get more interesting – I’m not going to struggle to explain it now and make a fool of myself, a site like this Zwave devices does a good job of digging into any variations.
That said if you’re having any visions on how I can pull together sufficient funds to pay for our new habit, kindly let me know!
