A few questions spark to mind:

-What is the primary use of this PC?

-What automation tasks does it serve?

-For automation, wouldn't Linux offer more flexibility, e.g. cron jobs and
self-tailored scripts?

-Any remote sensing (apart from fire alarms) or controlling via wireless
yet?


Nice work overall and a joy to watch these photos of a futuristic kitchen.
very inspiring.
