Solar Light Sensor

Hi. I am a Computer Engineer. I want to build a new home that is fully computer automated. I want a list of ideas that I can implement in my new house. No idea is too far fetched or too silly. Sometimes silly ideas can lead to practical ideas.

Here is a list of things I want so far.

1) Solar panels so the electric bill isn’t so high, and backup generator in case of power outage, all linked to a central computer.

2) Video surveillance outside that is linked to inside monitor for communications at the front gate to identify visitors.

3) Auto lighted drive way, that turns on drive way lights as a car drives up, and then shuts them off when the car passes by them.

4) Universal RFID system tailored to each individual that lives in the house.

5) RFID recognition so that the front gate opens automatically when I get home.

6) RFID keys so that the front door automatically opens for anyone who has the correct RFID key. Door remains locked all the time and is completely automated.

7) Full video and audio system for communicating with other people in the entire house without having to leave the room you are in.

Fully automated blinds for windows that are linked to the HVAC thermostat so that temperature is maintained at the best possible comfort to cost ratio.

9) Zones that are taylored to each RFID so that temperature and lighting will auto change when someone enters the room.

10) Motion sensors on all interior doors for automated open and close.

11) Complete security system.

12) Automated blind and windows.

13) Fiber, ethernet, wireless in every room for personal computer communications.

14) Build in capacitive HD touch screens in walls and on several large surfaces. Like 4 feet wide by 8 feet wide. Very similar to the iPad now, just on a massive scale.

15) IPad apps to monitor the house and see real time data on what is going on in the house.

Okay that is all I can think of right now.

Come up with some cool ideas that you think would be neat to have in the home of the future.

Again, no idea is too silly. I can do all this stuff for really cheap, if I do it myself.

Thanks
