This is the story of how I broke my Smart phone trying to get into my stupid house. It was grocery day, and as usual I was trying to lug as many bags at once to try to avoid a second trip up the stairs to our raised house. With shopping totes draped over both shoulders and both hands full, at the door I faced a conundrum – How in the world do I get my keys out of my pocket without putting everything down? As a concession to avoid unburdening myself of everything I was holding, I shifted my wallet and Smart phone from the hand holding a couple of bags to be wedged under my chin. I reached across my body to fiddle with the keys and – SMACK! The phone crashed onto the tiled entryway and the screen cracked.
Now imagine a different scenario – As I approach the door with my hands and arms full, I use a Siri voice command with my iPhone and the door unlocks for me. I get into my house easily and without incident. This is just the tip of the iceberg, the doorway if you will, into the world of home automation.
