okay, so here's my idea of implementation, what do you guys think.

bluetooth technology - sends and receive info from monitoring devices in car, home (ac, power).

dock for iCare - loads everything up to anything computer.

GPS for comfort setting. if you're 30 minutes away from your house coming back from work, the AC will start running at desired temperature because GPS will send a signal to activate the personal setting of the house.

bluetooth car sends info to iCare to calculate the way you drive and how it effects the enviroment.

problems - what if its a multi household?

I like that ^^

Only instead of 30 minutes away, I think it should be done by miles, b/c you don't know how fast someone is driving. Like 20 miles away, the A/C turns on.
