The next big culture shift in consumer technology is clearly home automation. Over the next two or three years, a dizzying array of home appliances and devices will connect up with your phone and TV box to make everything "smart" (which, let's face it, is a euphemism for "more fun but also more expensive and complex").
ADI, the global security and low-voltage distributor, recently launched a connected home display at its branch location, here, to better showcase its automated assortment.
Logitech issued a free firmware update to transform its previous-generation Ultimate Harmony Hub, designed mainly to control home-entertainment systems, into a full-fledged home-automaton hub.
