Home automation technology has been around for some time but has only recently begun to enter the mainstream. Reasons for home automationÕs growing popularity include developments on the demand side as well as the supply side.

On the demand side, rising incomes and standards of living have combined with increased concerns about energy and security to increase the attractiveness of technologies that promise to enhance the ownerÕs quality of life, while making the most efficient use of energy (especially electricity) and providing a sense of security.

On the supply side, the declining cost and complexity of new home automation products is helping to attract new buyers. Until a few years ago, the cost of quality home automation components was prohibitive for all but the enthusiast market, but prices are dropping.
