Home controls have remained largely confined to the upper strata of new home construction for decades. New approaches incorporating wireless and powerline technologies, a migration of traditional suppliers to IP-based systems and, perhaps most importantly, the entry of key market movers are driving change. This report will examine the state of the market, probe technology alternatives and sizes up the competition. It features forecasts for wireless and powerline controls in aggregate and divided by major applications including energy management, entertainment, lighting, remote monitoring, and central control systems. |
