  1. Hi Lisa,
    I really want to automate my whole house this year, but I’m still on the fence because I don’t really want to tear up every wall in the house. The house is about 4800 sq ft and I would like to make everything work from my ipad. My question is how much of home automation is wireless these days? Another question is can I use an ipad?

    Thanks Lisa, love your writing by the way.
    Bob
