A device which is triggered by a small laser device inside a
lock. When this laser is interrupted, it trips programmable
lights within the house and perhaps the answering machine.
Maybe it'd trip the coffee machine?

Doesn't have to be a laser. My Acura turns on its interior lights when I insert the key in the door lock. I seriously doubt that is uses a laser for that. If you insist that you trip the light lock-tastic, a simple LED will probably suffice. Granted, the word "laser" does have a certain panache to it. |

Took me a second, but you want a house (or appliances) that know when you come home? I'm pretty sure that's baked. |

Yeah, that's pretty much X10. I don't get where the laser comes in, though. |

Nah, he wants the laser to trip the coffee machine, answering machine, etc. This is appliance abuse, plain and simple. |

Film: Demolition Man. Also an episode of The Simpsons where Pearce Brosnan is the voice of an intelligent house that cooks, cleans, makes coffee and tries to kill Homer... Yep, seen this before! |
