Whether they do it for fun, energy savings or simply to make their lives easier; more and more people are looking to automate their homes. One of the largest sectors of this automation push is in power and lighting control and if you think about it, that makes sense. The typical home has more of these circuits than thermostats etc. Years ago geeks were accomplishing this automation through X10 but now the most common protocols are Z-Wave and ZigBee, with the recent new comer being Bluetooth. All of these protocols operate on mesh networks and are capable of passing along commands to distant devices. There are many companies out there that make these devices but only one that GE trusts to license their name to... Jasco.
