Until the integration comes from the product manufacturers (ie zigbee) and is ubiquitous we won't see any real traction in this market. My 2 cents anyway...<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('12063','Insteon vs X10'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('12063','Insteon vs X10','Honestly the green applications of home automation will take a backseat to the early adopters and \"cool factor\" for a while I believe.

Adjusting the house's heating system as required by a dishwasher does not appear smart, nor energy-saving. The French idea of replaceable rental batteries for electric cars is much more creative. It can make the transition to e-cars quicker by reducing the up-front investment in batteries and it also enables faster adoption of new battery technologies.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('12040','Mikko'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('12040','Mikko','If this dishwasher story is the best example Mr. Hanover can come up with, we will wait for long until his predictions materialize.
