One of my friends did a DIY Home automation/security system using Arduino and Raspberry Pi units. It controls the lights, security cameras, alarms, thermostat, coffee maker, microwave, fridge, oven, dishwasher, various robots he built, TVs, radios, computers, garage door, locks, window blinds, and so on and so forth.

He actually modded most of these things to be controlled by the system (the kitchen appliances and garage door opener are big ones).

He actually is quite rich and lives in a massive mansion (can't remember where it is, weird place name) and has pretty much everything automated.

And yes, he is brilliant.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
