Home Automation Times Magazine Launches

Posted on December 1, 1998

The Home Automation Times is a new publication dedicated to the emerging home automation and home networking distribution channel, including systems integrators, builders, security system installers, home theater installers, and others.

The Home Automation Times offers articles documenting trends and best practices and comprehensive set of links and other resources related to home automation and home networking. Palm Computing founder Donna Dubinsky and Crossing the Chasm author Geoffrey Moore, both experts on bringing technology to the consumer market, are interviewed in the current issue.

The editor of The Home Automation Times is Hillary Rettig, a veteran computer journalist and entrepreneur. She began writing about home automation in 1996, and published the first article on the technology as a potential profit center for computer resellers. "Our editorial credo, `Anticipate Ubiquity', says it all," she says. "I believe the adoption of these technologies is going to be near-universal, and that they represent a vast new opportunity for the computer industry as a whole, and value-added providers and systems integrators in particular."
