Outlet timers in the living room and den turn on lamps at dusk and off at bedtime. Does an automatic garage-door opener count?

This old house really felt its age until recently, when a quickie makeover by home-automation specialist Control 4 provided a real-life look-see at what it’s like to live in a Smart Home.

One Response to The Smart Home: A Brush With Control 4′s Home Automation

  1. Hi!
    My new house is under construction. I am thinking of using home automation technology in my new house. I am not a techno-savvy and thus don’t have a proper knowledge about the same. Also, I don’t want a much complicated system in my house because it unnecessarily annoys me.
    Do you really think that “Control 4?s Home Automation” is good for the one who is using this technology for the first time.
