Home automation products have been featured at CES, well, ever
since there was a CES. I’ve seen all sorts of products like the X-10modules that turned
appliances on and off and dimmed lights and the Insteon system of switches, dimmers and even
sprinkler controllers.
These early lines of product
have their place — back in the eighties I had about a dozen X-10 modules all
over my house — but aside from geeks like me, most people didn’t bother to
adapt the technology even though it was affordable and easy to find at Radio
Shack.
At CES we’re seeing a number
of home automation products that take advantage of the near-ubiquity of WiFi to
move data around the house and smart phones and tablets as controllers.
I spent some time at the Belkin booth looking at their new line of modular home automation
modules. These products are still in development, but they’re quite promising.
The devices, which require that you have a home WiFi network, can be used to
turn appliances on and off, let you know if you left your garage door open (and
let you close it) or respond to motion in the room.
Each device communicates to
the Internet via WiFi and can be controlled via any iOS device (the company is
also developing Android software) from anywhere on the planet. A company
spokesperson told me that modules can also be programmed to turn on and off at
specific times or after a specific amount of time.
