A commercial got me started .

There was a home on HGTV which almost made me want to copy it – They installed touchscreen controls and performed a pretty decent job of the implementation. It seemed like every overhead light was part of the automation and even the dog door plus the arcade room were controlled.
I have loved X10 for a long time but I had never seen a house like this, it was sensational and I’m still in shock.
Sometimes I dream of letting the superhome that we live in (slight exageration) do cool things like adjusting the temperature for each room or voice alerting us to someone at the door. Some of these things are a bit out in terms of general accessibility (although some people in the forums have made it work) still more realistic things for instance atmosphere settings that can be remotely controlled are available and inexpensive lately. I think I need to plead my case to my lovely wife- at which point she can focus her energy on the link that helped me learn about this stuff: ISY-99i forum
