Where is home technology headed? We saw some great innovations\u2014many in the TV world\u2014at the recent CES 2010 show.<\/p>\n

We also talked to some of our friends who make a living as custom electronics professionals (CE pros) to get their take on what\u2019s big for 2010. Systems that can help homeowners curb their energy use are hot; so are multiscreen video walls and housewide high-def. The popularity and use of these technologies are no where near pervasive, but we\u2019ve certainly seen a paradigm shift as custom electronics professionals and consumers are beginning to include them in their home designs.<\/p>\n

CE pros understand that importance of staying on the cutting edge. If they don\u2019t, they risk losing customers. It\u2019s their job to introduce homeowners to the latest and greatest in home technology. Even if you don\u2019t latch on to some of their ideas now, you\u2019ll at least be able to keep a pulse of where the industry is headed, and can add these devices and systems when you\u2019re ready<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s where home technology is headed, according to a few reputable CE pros we asked:<\/p>\n

\u2014More mobile control<\/strong>. Whether you\u2019ve got an iPhone, BlackBerry, Droid or some other mobile device, you\u2019ll be able to link to the systems in your house remotely through special programming (often free) downloadable applications.<\/p>\n

\u2014Voice control<\/strong>. \u201cThe ability to ask a computer or system to play a song or pull up a bit of information seemed far fetched a while ago, but with Rhapsody, Hulu, YouTube, and Google, it seems only a matter of time before someone will be able to provide an interface that will able to support voice control,\u201d says Brian Duggan of Union Place, Excelsior, Minn.<\/p>\n

\u2014Video walls<\/strong>. Requests for video walls are increasing at Hi-Tech Home in Clovis, Calif., says company general manager Chris Green. \u201cWhether it\u2019s using six TVs that can be combined into one display or one large display that can be separated into four sections, a video wall is a lot of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Energy management<\/strong>. Technology is and will continue to be used increasingly as a way to conserve energy. Curtis LeMaster of Control Designer in Orlando, Fla., sees huge potential for LED lighting. \u201cIt\u2019s going to have a big impact.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Fiber optics<\/strong>. Entertainment is driven by content\u2014both physical and downloadable. As the bandwidth requirements of this content increases, fiber optic cabling will become necessary, says LeMaster. \u201cIt is not well used in the residential market now, but this will change and change soon.\u201d<\/p>\n
