Open Specification Promise: What. How. Why.

Chris Walker, CEO of ControlThink and Doug Handler, Technical Product Manager for Visual Studio Express take you through the Z-Wave Alliance house in New York City demonstrating the latest Z-Wave technology. They’ll show how with a few lines of code they were able to change the lighting, raise and lower shades and control things like small appliances and garage doors. Tune in and see what devices will be coming to a retail outlet by companies like Intermatic, Leviton and Monster in the next few months. Check out the refreshed Coding4Fun site for cool home automation projects.
Awesome! I was excited about the X10 stuff on Coding4Fun a while back, but ended up not buying any hardware because there were no local vendors. I would be willing to buy the Z-Wave hardware, especially if it is backed by a Microsoft SDK.
When will it be available?

Back at christmas I invested in some X10 stuff. It's pretty neat tho since moving into my new house during the summer i've not had the time to set anything up.
I ended up writing my own X10 library with xml macros describing the set of X10 commands to run in sequence. I've got information on my
blog tho currently it can't be downloaded but if anyones interested I'll get it uploaded.
