2009 is the year of remote lighting

When it comes to things associated with automation I really like all the recent devices being announced from vendors such as Home Automation Inc and the Zigbee Alliance.
What’s interesting is that these new items being announced aren’t actually as big a deal as they claim since they was built through other means working with other readily available items but nowadays they are accessible as a prebuilt kit. That and now you don’t feel like you need a 6 page schematic to get it working.
Upon closer inspection there are several similarities among the major players. For instance, almost none of the offerings use battery-operated products as signal boosters, and they all use wireless communication in some capacity. Looking deeper still, things become more interesting – I could attempt to explain it myself and make a bunch of errors, a site like this Insteon is better at stressing the differentiators.
So if anyone has thoughts for how I can bring in sufficient funds to sponsor the latest habit, please pass it along!
