    Top 20 Automated Home Posts of the Year 2012

    Table of Contents

    Our annual look back at the top 20 Automated Home Posts of the Year for 2012 reveals even more interest in energy saving technologies with heating controls appearing three times in the top 6.

    There was a fascination for the new wireless home automation protocols announced during this year and our rant on the lack of a standard for information interchange in the smart home made it into the top 20 too.  But top of the heap is Ant Skelton’s huge, detailed and brilliantly useful review of the new Fibaro Home Center 2 Z-Wave controller.  To celebrate Vesternet have agreed to re-instate the offer they ran for Automated Home readers when the review was published (check out the details at the bottom of the review for the discount code and details).
