I love home automation toys

With regards to things associated with home automation I’m a big fan of the new stuff being announced by companies such as the Z-Wave alliance and Power Control Systems.
Almost all of these latest products being announced aren’t really as big a deal as they claim in that they had been accomplished through other means using available basic component stuff but for beginners they’re presented as a organized kit. As a side benefit these kits don’t feel like you need a 6 page schematic to figure it out.
A deeper look shows us many similarities amongst the major players. For instance, few of the product lineups use cordless devices as message relays, and almost all products use wireless communication one way or another. With other differences however, things become more interesting – I could venture to explain it now and make a bunch of errors, a site like this Z-Wave home automation has good discussions highlighting the contrast points.
That said anyone with any visions regarding methods to earn sufficient dough to fund my latest addiction, kindly let me know!
