Well folks, it looks like Home Automation is finally getting some prime time coverage! Today on the Oprah Winfrey Show, Nate Berkus will be showing off high-tech homes! The featured home uses technology by Control 4 (not my first choice in home automation technology — but oh well). They show how a “handheld screen or remote control” allows a user to “direct everything in the house with just the touch of a finger. It controls the lights, temperature, music, television and security.”
Definitely a step in the right direction — too bad I wasn’t invited on the show to talk about practical home automation! It’s about time home automation starts making itself known to the general population and the Oprah Show is the best vehicle to do so. I hope they also talk about how home automation can be used to save energy.

I think pretty much everything in Oprah's life is automated. Not by electronics though.

I'm not big fan of Control4 either. I'm in the process of restructing my home automation system and thinking of using mcontrol and Axis network camera's? Do you have any preferences ?. What kind of home automation controlers you use?. I like Insteon , but I have to pay to get their SDK???. I'm in the process of writing my own home automation software with WPF and Silver Light and looking for right API interfaces.
