Home automation is the residential extension of building automation.

It is automation of the home, housework or household activity.

Home automation may include centralized control of lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), appliances, security locks of gates and doors and other systems, to provide improved convenience, comfort, energy efficiency and security.

Warning: Working with electricity can result in injury, property damage, or even death if it is not done properly. Please keep this in mind while assisting others. If you are not sure about what you are doing, hire a licensed professional.

Has anyone used the x10 home automation/security system? How did you like it? Any problems?

1970's tech. Worked OK. Ran into alot of interference on the power lines (triggered randomly, or ignoring triggers). Not very quick, but it would do fine turning on and off. I ended up pulling all of mine out and replacing it over 10 years ago. I think I still have the phase bridge installed in my breaker box that I should get pulled one day.
