| Home automation wall switches and touch
screens will continue to have their place though.
Your home automation devices will increasingly support TCP/IP Internet
connection, both for integration, and for local and remote user access via consumer phones
and PCs.
Your home surveillance will use TCP/IP wired/wireless cameras and refined Digital Video Recorder (DVR)
software running on standard PCs. This DVR software
will be of the standard currently used by businesses, which is es easy to update or
upgrade. Say goodbye to dedicated DVR hardware with poor user interfaces that become
obsolete in 12 months!
Home automation will become standard equipment in new or renovated
homes. Non-personalised low-cost home automation will be
provided with standard home designs at the entry level, and customised home automation
solutions for more discerning home owners.
Home owners will become familiar with the full range of "home
automation" options available: From the basic home
automation provided by your local electrician, to complete home automation systems
properly designed and programmed by your qualified home automation specialist.
It will become common sense for home owners to hire appropriate people
for their home automation project: A qualified home automation
Engineer for consulting, design and programming; and an electrician
for installation. If you wouldn't hire a carpenter to design
your home rather than a qualified Building Designer or an Architect, why would you hire an
electrician rather than an Engineer to design and program your home automation?
Home automation Media articles will focus less on superficial gadgets and features, and
more on “how-to” guides helping home owners obtain quality home
automation systems.
