Being among the more vociferous "advocates" here, I might have
objected... except he's right.  :^)

I happen to believe that the home automation controllers I offer
are useful and reasonably priced.  The ELK M1G, for example, does
a credible job of operating various systems and securing access
to a home.  It is NOT a data logger.  It can't collect streaming
data and perform actions based on historic information.  The same
is true of HAI and several other HA-related controllers I sell.

However, for the purposes of most home automators they do a
satisfactory job.
