Nice, but =A3280,000 only seemed like a lot of money until I got to

"The price of all the appliances, sensors and remote control devices
has=20
not been set yet but Mr Klein estimated that it would double the cost of=20
the =A3280,000 house"

Yikes!  I thought it would be included!  I think Mr LetsAutomate and Mr=20
Comfort should come to a deal with Mr Klein... or is this what happens
when=
=20
you decide to go for a Lutron system :-)

I presume there's more stuff there than what is described in the
article,=20
which doesn't seem to come to much more than a well populated HV/Comfort=20
system (apart from the fridge with a built in telly, the sun blinds [which=
=20
are only needed cos they forgot to use opaque things like bricks to
build=20
it with :-) ] and the robot mower).

What do they plan to spend the other =A3278,000 on?  A nice stereo maybe? 
=
A=20
discreet distillery to avoid Swedish alcohol taxes?
