From time to time a video pops up on YouTube that’s really right up our street.
The Home of The Future series from Curbed and The Verge is a case in point. Presented by Grant Imahara of Mythbusters fame, it follows a project to build a new smart home complete with its own solar PV renewables and custom installed home automation system.

What your home could look like in 50 years
This looks very impressive. However, I would not call that a home from the future. In London, I regularly visit tech-heavy smart homes like this each week. So far it seems home automation has become the norm to bulk up real estate price here in the UK. Our home automation company AVITHA is doing its bit to peddle that haha. Great series nevertheless.
