After many years in the Home Automation business it clear to me that nothing is clear !
The expectation in the residential market place is driven by the app. Every manufacturer has an app and its free.
In reality the future is about seamless inter-connectivity and we are a way of this becoming mainstream.
Rather than a clear way forward with home automation all I see is hugely fragmented market place being saturated by companies new to the market that feel that they have to have an app to control their products.
When it comes to one item talking to another ( one manufacturers product talking to another or one protocol talking to another) things start to get complicated and the cost of implementation begins to reflect the very bespoke nature of this business.  
So why bring this up in the Comfort forum ?
Well comfort has been around for decades now YES well over 10 years, its a product that had (has) vision - the basis of a 20 year old product is still relevant today. So why then has it never really 'taken off' and what can be done to bring Comfort into the 21st century?
