Do You Have a Home Automation System?

The “smart home of the future” that’s been coming for decades finally appears to be making some headway. In just the past year or so, the number of companies offering affordable do-it-yourself options has increased dramatically and covers everything from automated lighting and security to thermostats and door locks that can be monitored and controlled from your smartphone, and more. In light of this trend, we thought it would be interesting to find out how many Sound & Vision readers are dipping their toes in the home automation waters. So, with that in mind, our question for this month’s poll is: “Do you have a home automation system?” Thanks in advance for your participation and we look forward to your comments.
