My wonderful electronic engineer husband is
developing a unique home automation system for the house. Each light and light
switch will be connected to a micro controller. The micro controller will
enable us to use any switch to put on any light and change the switches
according to whim. A switch at the front
door or next to the bed can switch off all the lights at once. Motion sensors
will be allocated to certain lights switching them on automatically when you
move into a room, for example illuminating the outside stairs when you arrive
home.
Additional software development will allow
us to control the system with a cell phone to switch lights off remotely whilst
not at home.
In future the irrigation system will also
be connected to the micro controller and we will be able to water the garden
while on holiday!
