I'm in the early planning stages of a new house and I am considering
having the house wired with Home Automation (HA) in mind.  One of the 
latest things in HA is SmartHouse technology.  I just received a book
by H. Brooke Stauffer and Ray C. Mullin, titled _Smart House Wiring_.

It is quite complete and details the concepts.  What I really want
to know, is there anyone out there who has a SmartHouse home or have
knowledge of costs associated with it?  I know that X10 stuff has
been around for quite some time.  Since I have the option of using
SmartHouse, I thought I would get any feedback from the net.

Based on what I have seen so far, it looks quite expensive.  One of the
big problems right now is the limited amount of SmartHouse products
available.  This drives the price very high.  I could wire
the house as Smart-Remi and wait for the components to drop in price.
Of course this depends on whether or not the market accepts this
technology and more products and vendors appear.

You may respond via Email or post here.  Thanks.
