Two home automation systems powered by Xanboo, AT&T Remote Monitor, and Motorola Homesight were featured in the April 2nd edition of the Chicago Tribune.
"Until recently the price tag for home-automation systems ranged from $30,000 to $50,000 and kept the industry stagnant, said Kurt Scherf, a market researcher at Dallas-based Parks Associates, which studies emerging technologies.
These days a slew of firms, such as Control4, are automating homes for $3,000 to $15,000. Best Buy Co. rolled out a $15,000 system called ConnectedLife.Home, which allows you to manage light switches, the thermostat and security cameras by remote control on a high-definition TV. Motorola Inc.'s Homesight and AT&T Inc.'s Remote Monitor allow you to view video, monitor door and window sensors or turn on lights from a Web-enabled phone.
No wonder the home-automation business is expected to double in sales to nearly $6 billion in the next four years, said Scherf."

How about being able to use my BL-C1 on my iPhone directly?
I have been waiting a year to be able to use my camera on the Web with a real web browser and without a windows PC.
Very exciting features
A lot of useful information in those links, thanks. I feel that it might even be too much for me to “digest” in just one week.
The use of automation system has made the manufacturing industry more efficient as lesser work force is required in the business.
