not really certain what to make of this...

Sounds almost as if he just reinvented SNMP, but...

    Well it wasn't the typical kick starter pitch with the sound track and the "now we need your help" at the end.

    I sure hope that 'crawl-space' is merely metaphor.

    If you are going to spend any time at all in a real crawl space, you should properly prepare.

    1. Toss in an ample amount of fumigation bombs to annihilate all black widow and brown recluse spiders. Yes, emphasize the annihilate.

    2. See that all poisonous snakes have exited the premises.

    3. Make sure no skunks and raccoons have taken up residence.

    4. Remove stinking dead carcasses of animals that died in the fumigation or years before.

    5. Bring in a sheet of PVC that can cover the entire ground space so one doesn't wallow in mud due to underground seepage.

    6. Fix all plumbing leaks that have begun to puddle on the PVC.

    Now you are good to go.
    Personally, I would prefer CANbus for a home automation netword, but you can name your own poison.. like SNMP.
