Affordable home automation
WIRED has a really cool article about a company called Control4. They make turnkey home automation systems; however, unlike other systems, Control4's systems are actually affordable.
According to the article, they are trying to expand the market for home automation products beyond high-end new construction (which only accounts for 1% of new construction).
I've dabbled with cheapo home automation stuff for several years; however, I've only really done things that control lights or appliances. When we build our next house (sometime next year), I am definitely going to look into the Control4 solutions.
You can go through an interactive demo to find out what kind of solutions Control4 has for your needs.
