I have reviewed my own home and I realize that I have had to add/relocate numerous outlets for power, sound, tv, and tel over the past 10 years. That is why I went RF for items as I replaced failing appliances. Some of the items that I think will be incorporated in the new home will be; outlets supplying power to electronic equipment will be RF controlled (sometimes freeze-ups require power disconnect for 15 seconds or so), no hard-wired phone system (cellular only w/RF remotes), RF security, RF video surveillance, RF video distribution, RF broadband, RF sound distribution system. Will be avoiding the 2.4mHz band as too much junk on it already. The $12-$15 thou includes transmitters and receivers in various freq ranges, some, for security, will be rolling. It seems that Phillips has a remote control that can be programmed for 18 different devices. May need 2 of them. I have reached the conclusion that RF is the new way to go. Hard wiring is too restrictive when it comes to rearranging furniture, etc. Going to finish off my systems to all RF. I guess I’ll be trading the NEC for the FCC.
