(Not) in Control of Your Home [Bits Versus Electrons]

I needed light on a staircase in my house. It was simple enough to install?I had my electrician connect a light fixture to the nearest power source and that was that. Nothing unusual until you notice that I never mentioned a light switch. I simply defined a relationship between the switch and the bulb to send a message to tell the bulb to turn on and off using standard protocols on the common Internet transport.
