The traditional US home automation market is beginning to evolve, breathing new life with the ubiquity of Internet connections and rising consumer demand to network their home. The result is an emerging market for smart home networks, essentially a home network of communicating, intelligent devices capable of linking to the WAN, and being remotely accessed and controlled through the Internet, telephone or even WAP cell phone. The smart home is becoming a networked smart home, and most notably, becoming a realistic option for the average person.
