We watched this mansion on one of the HD channels which almost made me stare – The house had Zwave and did a thorough job making it all work. Close to every fireplace had a remote control and things like the litter boxes plus the robot vacuum were accessible from the many panels in the house.
I had been curious about Zigbee for what seems like forever but thinking about something like this, it was crazy and truly remarkable.
I often day dream of having my house more automated so it can like running a bath by just asking the house to or announcing the weather for the day in the morning. Some of these things are still pretty far in terms of general accessibility (regardless of this some groups have made it work) despite this more practical items like atmosphere settings which can be changed over the internet are available and easy(er) on the pocket now. The last step is to win over my financial advisor... then she can hold responsible the page which made me interested in the first place: Insteon thermostat
