My conversation with Ted made it so I couldn’t sleep !

Last night was a home on that house makeover show which probably caused me to drool – Everywhere they had installed Zwave and did a decent job of the implementation. Close to every overhead light was integrated and I think even the garage doors plus the robot vacuum were part of the system.
I have loved lighting control for a long time but thinking about a dream house like this, it was crazy and I want everything I saw now.
We talk about letting our condo do fancy tasks along the lines of running a bath by just asking the house to or reminding us of obligations as we leave the house. Ok most realistically a couple years in the future (despite the fact that some average people have made it work) on the other hand more realistic things like lighting and music which can be changed over the internet are available and economical today. The last step is to win over my financial advisor...... after which she can focus her energy on the link that got me started on all this: Insteon thermostat
