With regards to technologies associated with home of the future type stuff I pay a lot of attention to all the new stuff produced by places such as the Zigbee Alliance and the Zigbee Alliance.
Some of the latest products produced aren’t actually as as much of a movement as one would imagine due to the fact that this stuff has been built through other means utilizing currently accessible basic stuff but instead now they are offered as a clean little set. That and now you don’t require fluke testers around the house to get it working.
Looking closer we see a few correlations among the various technologies. For instance, almost none of the technologies use handheld remote products as RF repeaters, and all the items use radio frequency as a backup. With other differences still, it gets more complicated – Rather than attempt to portray it now and make a fool of myself, there’s a site here ISY-99 Insteon has pages dedicated to talking about any differences.
Now anyone with any thoughts relating to ways to pull together sufficient funds to sponsor my recent infatuation, please pass it along!
