Automatic Home Network

An interesting article today in Theregister.com.  Apple has been granted a patent for technology that will detect movement around the home and automatically change the settings of light switches or other household devices.  It will even turn on your oven at a specified time to preheat for dinner. We already have thermostats that work that way so it shouldn't take long to design a system to operate your entire house.

This is not a picture of it, they have just been granted a patent, but who knows how theirs will look when they complete the designing of it.
