Learn how to save time and money by using your Apple II computer to control your home: the security, lights, temperature, telephone, and much more. With John Blankenship's system of software and hardware, your house can accept verbal commands and respond with its own voice. It does not need human instruction and performs many useful tasks on its own. Once you get used to an intelligent house, you will wonder how you ever got along without one. Even though devices featured in The Apple House can be purchased, the author shows how you can save money by building some from scratch. He also points out that you can substitute equipment you already own because of the system's modularity. Although written with an Apple II computer in mind, the principles discussed can easily be transferred to other computer systems.
