Episode 14 - DIY vs. Professionally Installed Home Automation

Shopping for a Smart Home used to mean one of two things.  You either bought a kit from a company like Insteon or HAI and spent countless hours tinkering to make things work.  Or you went with a dealer-installed system like Control4, Crestron, or Savant.
