It sits on the etched-glass coffee table. Its housing as beautiful as the effects a feather touch on its anodised surface will create. There are no intrusions, no wires to spoil the view.

One touch on your remote and you light a path from one space to another. You bring your cinema room to life. You set the temperature of your bath. You feed audio to any room you please. You watch satellite TV in your jacuzzi. You synch your music or DVD collection to any homes you own across the world. Or even boats.

Monitor your home on the Net (wherever you are). Turn off lights. Swish curtains open or closed. Take a week’s break and know
that last week’s lighting pattern will repeat.

Control has never felt so total, so secure, so delicious.
