and @hmushtaq -When I first became aware of Smart home technology I thought there couldn't possibly be a demand for it - personally I think it's a sign of insanity, then again in 1800 Robert Owen used his New Year's address to the community in New Lanark to argue that he had 'hope yet for humanity because man is not yet insane enough to bottle water and sell it for profit'....

You are absolutely right! Mankind has always surprised itself and done things that we could have never predicted or even thought possible. Smart homes are simply a no-brainer at this point.
