If all goes well, this summer I'll be building a new house. I've owned a few houses before, some of them built in the 1920s and 30s, and full of all the charm and quirks of an old house, and a couple that were pretty new, with the lack of craftsmanship and imagination that's typical in most new construction in the USA today. But this time I'm building a custom home, just to my specifications, so I can have whatever features I want, limited only by my imagination (and budget). I'd like to integrate some home automation features into the house, and include wiring for future expansion.

Btw, I'd add an old pentium box in the garage with a vnc viewer so I can access everything else, and not risk damaging costly hardware.
Now, what about adding mics and experiment with voice recognition... "channel one", "volume high", and "who is ringing the bell ?" to display the main door's camera picture on the living room's TV
