I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Paperwhite.

I was skeptical but I do really like my paperweight. I was worried I'd miss the actual page turn button but I don't.

Our wings are not tired.

So DH's latest project is making the house Smart. This apparently is a big deal for the house buyers in our area. He has done a lot of research and is convinced it won't be that difficult but is still weighing pros and cons of this system and that. Yes, I had to watch him changing the water temperature from the living room last night.

So, would anyone with knowledge in this area mind fielding some questions from him? (Gud!) His main concerns seem to be around interoperability among the various devices.

I can answer some questions. I'm a developer on Lowe's Iris system, so I'm a bit biased though.

Yes, I told him that part! He has interest in that system. Should he email you or ask questions here?

Either way.
