So many questions about home automation

As with all technologies considered to be home of the future type stuff I watch pretty carefully some of the new items created from consortiums like Home Automation Inc and SmartLabs.
Many of these latest devices created shouldn’t be considered actually as big a deal as they claim in that this stuff has been accomplished previously working with existing basic products but for those starting out they are available as a nice kit. That and now you don’t need a complicated circuit diagram to understand how it works.

A deeper look shows us several likenesses with the brands. For example, almost none of the offerings use portable products as message boosters, and nearly all devices use advanced RF in some way. When investigating further though, things get more complicated – I’m not going to try to outline it now and explain things poorly, a site like this Home automation iPhone has pages dedicated to digging into the differentiators.
Now anybody having any visions relating to ways to make enough cash to make up for our new compulsion, don’t hesitate to let me know!
