Little news on domotica / domotics
This is difficult to understand for me. Within the domotics branche there is a lot of noise on how this ‘new’ market will grow. However if you try to find some interesting website on this subject it turns out as a great dissapointment. There are only a few websites, mostly commercial and little informative for the consumer. The ‘news’ that is displayed on these website’s is often a new product, boring for the consumer, very technical and directed to the installer. When will this market turn to the consumer instead of the installers branche?
In the US custom-install is becomming more popular. In the US there is one great advantage it is quite easy to install these products in an existing home. In Europe houses of concrete and bricks you are looking for other solutions. Xanura the product of Holec is an example of a European product that has looked at this problem. It is a system that communicates over the powerlines in your home. There should be more products like these and targeted at the consumer and not the installer otherwise a real lift off will not happen.
