Why has home automation not lived up to its hype? Z-Wave's Mark Walters talks to Ilyce Glink about how past home automation technology was unreliable and expensive. He also demonstrates Z-Wave's new home automation technology. Is home automation still just hype? Or, is it something worth having?

  • @AshtonPhoto lol i need to look into voice activation on my new amx system!!

  • @djkid9

    Cool, I'll look into it.

  • @AshtonPhoto voice activation is even possible on the most basic x10 system using homeseer :)

  • luddites

  • Hype is right.

    The reason the tech has gone nowhere is because THERE IS NO REAL PROBLEM.

    How hard is it to turn on a light or run the bath?? And who the heck needs to do that from the car???

    How about this:

    A home security system that detects an intruder, traps/disables him, and calls the cops.

    Or a dishwasher that puts the plates back in the cupboard.

    Or, voice activation on some of this stuff.
