Good luck selling the PLC control to anyone.
The point is, a call to J Doe in the middle of the night may get you up and running with an outlet that controls the coffee maker (addicted to coffee here).
Now... if you have to call a Rockwell Tech to get your outlet running and can wait for the next available slot well... that's it, you get the picture.
Loan oficers and banks, look at that.
I had to yank out a "Stargate" home controller (commercially available, for home automation) in order not to have issues selling my last place.
