Re: Book Recommendations?

[Bruno Prior <bruno@xxxxxxx>]

I have the "Home Automation and Wiring" book. It might be useful
for an 
overview, but mostly it tells you what can be done, rather than how to 
do it. You'll probably know a lot of what's in there already. It spreads
itself much too thin.

Having looked around, I would say there is no really useful book on home
automation out there. Has anyone found anything worthwhile? I seem to 
remember that Microsoft Press had something. Not that I'd get it, but it
might work for others.

What it really needs is an O'Reilly-style book or series of books.

Cheers,

Bruno Prior
