It’s pretty well known that for technologies considered to be home of the future type stuff I pay a lot of attention to most of the recent devices being announced by consortiums like SmartLabs and Home Automation Inc.
The thing is these latest devices being announced aren’t so much novel as they would seem because they likely had been created before utilizing currently accessible readily available items but instead now they’re available as a nice set. Another perk is these kits don’t need a 6 page schematic to get it working.
A few comparisons show us quite a few similarities with the technologies involved. For instance, none of them use handheld remote devices as signal relays, and all the items use RF in some manner. Beyond this however, it gets interesting – I’m not going to venture to express it at this point and mess it up, there’s a site here Insteon switch has good discussions evaluating the discrepancies.
So anyone with any thoughts for ways for me to make some dough to pay for my latest infatuation, for pete’s sake share!
