Hi,
I've been working in IT for a few years and I'm about to completely renovate an old house I've just bought.
I've never used any home automation before so I'm looking for some help from the experts...
I'd like to have control of the lights, ability to turn heating on / off and access to my media (films, music etc) from every TV in the house.
I already have a pretty powerfully HTPC with I presume would be the hub of it all.
I'd like to be able to use an android / ipad to be able to control the features remotely.
My question is, what hardware and software should I be using? Would I be able to view my film library from the android / ipod? Is it a big job to implement the infostructure?
Any help and advice ismuch appriciated.
Thanks,
Ian.
