I’m dreaming of Creston

When it comes to items considered to be domotics I watch pretty carefully new stuff available by places such as the Zigbee Alliance and the Z-Wave alliance.
The thing is the latest devices available aren’t really as revolutionary as evolutionary since they likely had been accomplished before working with other readily available devices but now they are available as a clean little package. Another perk is you won’t require fluke testers around the house to set things up.

Certainly there exist many similarities among the various technologies. For instance, none of them use handheld remote devices as message relays, and almost all products use radio waves in some manner. Looking deeper however, things become more complicated – I’d rather not try to explain it myself and make mistakes, this site Insteon vs X10 does a good job of analyzing some of the differences.
Now if anyone has good ideas for ways for me to make a bit of dough to cover my recent dependence, kindly share!
