Home automation: yes, but can it shovel snow?

Control lights, appliances, garage doors, and thermostats from your mobile device, even when you’re not at home. Get a text message when the front door opens. Monitor security cameras to make sure your kids are home safe.

But can it shovel snow? Not yet. Perhaps Google should focus on developing a product to shovel snow rather than a driverless car. They’d have more buyers in New England.

Here is Crutchfield Labs’ Home automation guide.
