The problem with investing in a lot of this house/building technology is that it requires a lot more effort to get involved than just buying a phone. I think this kind of stuff will phase in with new buildings or slowly as people upgrade things like elevators, but its a lot harder to get people to adopt things that require effort to install in their home (or a lot of money to pay someone to install)... shit, most people probably have a hard time changing light fixtures.
I think this stuff will be gaining steam, but I don't think it's going to be a dramatic explosion.
"The administration at Eglin Air Force Base uses Splunk to monitor usage of elevators, security doors, light switches, wall mounted thermostats, and air conditioners in their facilities and then analyze the collected data to determine usage patterns and identify when energy usage can be moderated"
Hmm, combined with google knowing everything about me this makes me care less about the NSA.... I for one welcome our new corporate overlords..
