Ask HN: What's a hacker's setup for home automation in an Internet of things?
If you as a hacker would build a house, what kind of home automation system would you choose? Would you go for a wireless (WLAN/radio/bluetooth ...) solution, the KNX bus system, extensive ethernet cabling, some new system that's in some start-up's pipeline, or a home brewn system? In other words: what's your bet on the future of the industry; which technology is most promising, both from a hardware and software point of view?

Fiber Optics and USB[X.0] ran everywhere.
Projectors would be more commonplace.
Better home security would be way more affordable. Facial recognition, retina scanning, finger prints etc.
Just a few guesses from the top of the head.

I would design the electrical system to support PLC control for all outlets and built-in appliances.
