Home automation is one of those things that keeps getting promised, but never seems to take off, probably because it always seems to involve replacing everything you already own. I recently came across a kickstarter for a project that claims to solve this problem - they integrate with your existing stuff so there's no retrofitting required. I think the concept at least might be appealing to other Soylent readers, so I'm including a link below, but I'm more interested in the question of if this actually seems feasible, and whether there are other problems blocking home automation from becoming mainstream?
