Really? Say what you will about the colour choice gimmick, this could be one of the cheapest, consumer-friendly solutions to home automation of all time. The only DIY product I've seen prior to this is a device you place between the power plug and power socket. As a manufacturer I'd imagine you would have to produce a variety of plugs to meet the various global standards[1]. This is where a single light globe, or perhaps a small range of wattages, would shine (pun fully intended). One product for the global market. It's surely a more elegant solution than dicky little boxes between your power points, and much cheaper than having a team of home automation "experts" wire up your house for a few grand. ------------- [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power_plugs_and_sockets#Types_in_present_use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power_plugs_and_sockets#Type...
