Smart Homes – Where are we now?
Currently, less than 1% of homes employ full smart hometechnology.
The market is growing rapidly. This growth is driven, in part,by the rising tablet market.
By 2018 according to HIS Technology, a research firm,predicts that 45 million smart home devices will havebeen installed.

Last Month’s Grey Water Presentation
Copyright @ Tony Green 2015
The StoryGarry Sato had the idea of turning “showers intoflowers” or diverting reusable greywater when –ironically enough -- he was taking a shower.
Since 2010, residential construction in Tucson,Arizona has been mandated by law to installgreywater-ready systems with new homes.On the books to become law in California in 2018.
Yet ironically enough, no legal diverter has
existed until 2015. Before March 2015, when the
first residential greywater diverter was finally
certified.

The Story (Continued)
The International Association of
Plumbing and Mechanical Officials
(IAPMO) awarded its difficult-to-
earn universal plumbing code
(UPC) certification to create the
very first legal way for
homeowners to reuse greywater, for
the remote-controlled GreenSmart
Greywater Diverter

Through the Air with ease
RF Image
Before turning on the water to warm, or draining a bathtub, a push of the GreenSmart
button robotically moves the ball valve to close off the pipe to the sewer and open a one
that goes to the garden.
If one uses a undesirable material while in the shower, another quick push of the button
sends that water to the sewer.
