Microsoft in the home - Unified Home Automation Control
Much of the technology required for home automation has been within grasp of the average consumer for nearly 30 years. Many implementations of simple reactive-relay systems have come and gone, all without massive adoption. So what keeps millions of 21st century households from making even their first step towards automation?

The lack of a clear, unifying user experience.

I propose a 2 part solution, a hardware module easily interfaced to popular competing home automation technologies, along with an extensible software layer to allow intelligent orchestration.
