I would like to tell you about a magic home. You bought a home and fixed it up very nicely. The parquet floors shine brightly, beautiful crystal chandeliers create a special atmosphere inside while fancy landscaping, decorative fountains and waterfalls create an atmosphere outside. Garage door opens to let you out to work in the morning. There is nobody home. Everybody is gone for the day. The house is empty. But you forgot to turn off the light or close the garage door. Turning around and coming back home is not an option...

As you can probably guess, I have never visited Bill Gates at his home. And I probably never will. But all of us, you and I, have read something or heard something about his house. It is of course a large and beautiful house. And of course it is fully programmed and computerized. Most likely we will never be able to afford such a home. But you too could have a computerized home. For some it may simply mean the ability to turn off the forgotten lights or stove from great distance. For others it may be the audio-visual system they always wanted, surround sound, hi-tech equipment hidden in the walls, ...
... larger than life plasma screens attached directly to the walls, sound dims out automatically when a phone rings and other such incredible entertainment possibilities. For some it means utilizing state of the art independent power supply motion detectors and hidden cameras that start rolling and call your cell phone number with a coded message if anything larger than a cat starts moving in the house to create security at their home. That is the safety and security for their property, for themselves, for their family and their children. For others, it means the ability to gather all these possibilities together and create a truly smart home, and a fully secure home, responsive to their slightest wish.

All these things are fully within the current technological capabilities, they are not difficult to accomplish, they are not even expensive. The only limit is your imagination. Whatever home automation you can imagine is possible to bring to life at your home.

Your offspring forgot the keys and is locked out of the house? No problem. You dial a code number on your cell phone and your ever so forgetful child gains an entrance to the house. Do you think your ever so forgetful child will now remember to lock the door? Don't even worry about it. You will lock it yourself without missing a beat at work, all under the affectionate gaze of your favorite boss.

Hawaii! The beach, the sun, no worries! Is that so? Are you not concerned about the safety of your home while you are away? Is the refrigerator still refrigerating? Are the sprinklers sprinkling on time? Is your cat's autofeeder still doing the job? Needless to say, you can be in full control. All you need to do is dial a code from your cell phone and the smart house will do the rest.

And what about the home security while you are away? Don't we all ask our neighbors to empty our mailbox and pick up the newspapers from in front of the garage door? Don't we all have lights on timers to create an illusion that we are home? Nowadays it is done with a laptop or a cell phone. Anybody staking out the house would see the curtains closing at night, lights and music coming on and off in various parts of the house. The house lives its usual evening life. And when most of the respectable citizens retire for the night, the house would quiet down.
