When Charles Willson departs from his home in Napa, California, he doesn't have to worry about the garden, or his home being without him. Thanks to a bevy of smart home gadgets and a suite of apps, Charles is able to keep an eye on everything that goes on in and around his home. He is what you would call a "tech junkie".

From the tankless waterheater to avoid wasting water, to the solar panels hidden in the parapet roof. The high-tech green family home is suprisingly... low tech?

Everyone has that one friend that just goes nuts decorating their home. You know the drill: you walk in, a ficus is sitting in the corner, and a cat with two windchimes on either side of it is floating right above with two leopardskin couches and a crystal chandelier -- and to top it all off: a zen waterfall to make digestion just a little bit more pleasent.
