We watched a killer house on EHM which probably made me salivate – They were using Zwave and had done a seriously outstanding job of having it be impressive. Almost every overhead light knew what the other was doing and even silly things like the gate as well as the bathroom plasmas were controlled.
We’ve used Zigbee for forever but I hadn’t even dreamed about systems like this, it was sensational and truly remarkable.
I’ve thought about having our apartment do fancy tasks along the lines of following me with music through the house or displaying the news in the bathroom mirror. Many things are still pretty far in terms of general accessibility (although some people are in the process of it) but more realistic things for instance atmosphere settings which can be changed over the internet are available and inexpensive today. The last step is to convince the wife... then she can focus her energy on the link which made me interested in the first place: Insteon Controller
