Wireless, remote controlled lighting systems provide increased comfort, convenience, aesthetics, security, and energy savings. Automated lighting systems use a central wireless router to control special light switches so you can program all your lighting inside and outside your home with settings for time of day, location, and various scenes to fit any occasion.

It should be noted that some systems use both RF and PL (power line) for fault tolerance. The central controller plugs into a wall outlet and has an antenna as well. I am currently experimenting with 2 systems and there is a world of difference between them as far as reliability goes so choose carefully!
The only complication that most people might have is with not having a white wire (common) in the switch box. We’ve run into this with houses just 10 years old…
A smart grill takes the guesswork out of keeping your grilling temperature consistent. See why this new technology can make your barbecue better than ever.

Is this something that the average home owner can install himself? Brand name?
If you can change a switch, you can install these devices. Check out Insteon at Smarthome.com
