In my first job from school I was eventually worked out as computers took over.
Recent adverts (Google smart thermostats) had me wondering just where this
device installation fits?
Wifi. Electrical. Plumbing connections.

Is this just an example of 'modern' household kit getting smarter?
Other examples - door bells, intruder alarms and cameras?

What's the view from inside the trade?
 
I did a degree a while back that was electrical, electronics, hydraulics, pneumatics....and computing...
sensors and basically input-process-output

each technology can be looked at separately or as one unit.

For some electricians, wiring up a smart thermostat for example is the easy bit.... dealing with the computer, linking it phones etc takes a little more time.

the computing my daughters get at school today is nearly the same as I was getting 20 years ago at university.
