If your job involves the automation of client homes and rooms then it should be a primary goal to create the most simple and usable UX possible. That's not what I see most in the CI industry doing.
I think you misunderstood nearly everything from my previous post, and unfortunately I don't have the time nor desire to rehash the entire thing again. Suffice to say that I didn't imply once that tablets were going away. I knew (and was very vocal about it) when the first rumors of the iPad were circling the net a few years before its release that the technology would finally catch on when Apple debuted and that it would change the face of computing forever. However a tablet product is no more a solution to all the problems faced in this market than a car is as a mode of transport (to keep it to automobiles if that's how you need to look at it).
