Many people still see home automation like they did in the 1990’s – as a bit of a toy for cashed-up technocentric yuppies. That’s really not the case anymore though. Thanks to enormous strides in technology and economies of scale, genuinely useful home automation setups are well within reach, and (depending on how you live) can do all sorts of impressive things for your home in terms of comfort, security and energy efficiency.
