Is Android @Home the next thing in Home Automation? Is it Vaporware?

Thursday, May 12, 2011 By Chris Hammond (Updated 5/14/2011)

Is Android@Home vaporware? That is the question I have been asking myself since Google announced Android@Home at Google IO earlier this week.

There isn’t a whole lot of information out there as of right now, as to what Android@Home actually is, will be, or wants to be. The details are very sparse. The only information with any sort of a timeline that I’ve been able to find is an article from TechRadar that says the first “product” will be due at the end of this year (2011).

I’m hoping that things will flush out from Google over the next few months. In the mean time I think it is time that I dive into some Android development. I’ve been meaning to do so for quite some time, but with everything else going on I haven’t had the opportunity.

If you recall my last blog post you’ll see that I’ve dumb’d down the house, so this announcement from Google about Android@Home might have come at just the right time for me. Is it time to ditch Insteon and move to something else? Only time will tell.
