I think the idea here is to buy a phone instead of a $10k dealer installed, proprietary system like AMX.

You just cant expect to turn on a light using a Nokia phone unless you have the light connected to a electric box with IP support. So you would connect your phone to WiFi (to which the electric main is connected) and then select options on the phone and the electric box will receive them over WiFi and execute them.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jash Sayani]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 27th 2008 7:08AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nokia launching Z-Wave Home Control Center next year]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/nokia-launching-z-wave-home-control-center-next-year/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/nokia-launching-z-wave-home-control-center-next-year/</guid><description><![CDATA[hmmm, I have an image of my grand-mother phoning me and asking the set the timer on the video recorder even when i'm on holiday in another country.<br>Oh the joy of tech !]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[optional106]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 27th 2008 5:25AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nokia launching Z-Wave Home Control Center next year]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/nokia-launching-z-wave-home-control-center-next-year/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/27/nokia-launching-z-wave-home-control-center-next-year/</guid><description><![CDATA[This is just a lame version of FemtoCells where Nokia is trying to use its big market share in cell phones to extend to other markets. Femto Cells provide this in a much more secure and faster way utilizing 3G.
