tal - checked with a friend of mine who is starting up a new business
(sensorlogic.com) to integrate remote sensors.
the only 'smart house' project he knew of is a graduate studies program at
the University of Texas at Arlington.
here's the link i found on their website:
http://www.theshorthorn.com/archive/2004/summer/04-jul-08/n070804-04.html
i'm sure if you drill deeper, you'll find better contact info.
good luck!
