Home Automation

What is HA?

Where does it begin/end?

My parents had a friend who worked for an electical supply house (I think he owned it.)
His house had mercury switches on many lights and such around the house.
He could turn them on and off from his entry doors, kitchen and bed room. (1950's)

What does is cover?

So HA has been arond for quite some time.

Some might be familiar with X10 (1970's)
Originally rather limited use, functionality and quantity of operations.
Now they control everything.

The other end is using a Siri like interface to contrl everything.

HA has several avenues for use and abuse.

You decide?!?!
