Lagotek Announces Software-Based Whole-House Control System

Whereas past approaches to home automation have been primarily hardware based and hard wired, Lagotek’s approach is to use software running on an open hardware platform based upon wireless technology. From Bios, "The software-based platform includes basic features for whole home control of lighting (incandescent, LED and fibre optic), heating and air conditioning (HVAC), distributed audio, multi-location camera surveillance, irrigation controls (sprinklers and drip systems) and security systems."
