Well I for one really enjoy setting up and using my HA stuff.
In the morning, I wake up to a random song from my music collection. When the song finishes, my favourite radio station comes on (or, at the moment because I'm English and it's the Ashes, I have that coming on instead).
Meanwhile the bedside light comes on, dimmed at first, then gets brighter, followed by the main light.
The coffee machine downstairs switches on automatically, if I don't feel like getting out of the bed, the smell of fresh coffee usually helps.
At night, if we get out of bed to go to the loo, a dimmed light comes on to show the way.
Also, it can save electricity, when I walk around my house, lights come on, but then go off again after a period of time if no-one is in the room. Great if (like me) you always forget to turn lights off.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I need help! I want a small pocket camcorder but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't want to fall into the hype of the Flip because I worry two hours won't be enough. What should I be looking for when considering a small camcorder and where can I get a good quality one with expandable memory? Thanks!"
