In the 1960s, a cartoon family called The Jetsons brought us the original "smart" home, complete with robot servants, picture phones and other futuristic gadgets. Forty years later, a Petaluma tech startup is launching a wireless automation system aimed at making the smart home a reality.

"The home of the future is going to be very connected," said James Martin, chief executive officer of Threshold Corp.

His 4-year-old company hopes to begin selling its system in August. It's built around a digital home controller that lets consumers manage all their electronics -- TVs, media players, clocks, lights, computers, security systems and temperature controls -- from a single point. The technology also shows homeowners how much energy they're using.

We’ve been covering energy monitoring and the huge hole that exists in the home control market to show your energy use in an easy way. (See “Saving Energy with Wireless Mesh Networks” and “Affordable Energy Monitoring.”) The really good news is that there are low-cost systems becoming available.

Robert Scoble came to Threshold recently to interview CEO James Martin for an upcoming video that will appear on FastCompany.TV. Robert liked what he saw, and wrote up a nice story about Threshold for his famous technology blog, Scobleizer.
