Summing Up

• Products like lighting switches using RF, IR,
  powerline and various bus systems not
  competitors! Comforts role is to integrate the
  various systems in a home or office unit into an
  intelligent system.
• Security system is the basic component of an
  intelligent home. Security sensors are important
  even if the alarm is not required in the home.
• Comfort is not a one-stop or Plug and Play
  product. It requires design and system
  integration with the necessary modules and
  external components to fit the customers
  requirements. Skilled system integrators are
  needed.
• Key advantage is the ability to program scenarios
  to suit individual requirement
