I was travelling back from a meeting yesterday on the train and decided to grab the UK edition of Wired to read to pass the time.  In it there was a good, short and to the point article on home automation perfect for anyone looking to understand what to hook up and where.  In the main it uses the Domia kit which is internationally available and hooks very nicely into Media Center. 

It’s a great article, worth a look and available totally online here.
