It's always amazed me that one protocol powerline could send not only the
information to turn a switch on or off, but a picture of the switch and
video of the room going dark in the time that it takes for another to send
less than a kilobyte of data.

I wonder why HomePlug or similar companies haven't crossed over into the
realm of HA, given the potential synergy of powerline, PC's and maybe even
AV all using the same topology.
