The BBC World Service "Digital Planet" magazine show published a piece about CEDIA 2007, where there was a link to Andy's interview as an MP3 download or Podcast.
It's now gone from the BBC site, but you can download the audio from http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/rmhttp/downloadtrial/worldservice/digitalplanet/digitalplanet_20070709-1700_40_st.mp3, and the article is copied below:-
Andy starts speaking 20 mins into the show, but the rest of it is worth listenting too for context (hint: Crestron!)

| Welcome to Digital Planet, the weekly BBC World Service programme that reports on technology stories from around the globe. This week the Digital Planet team investigates the technology behind home automation, talks to Czech researchers developing software that might allow people with hearing impairments to hear classic books and takes a 3D-trip through ancient wonders. {other sections removed for this re-post} HOME AUTOMATION Researchers and developers have been showing off their latest gadgets, at Cedia, the Custom Electronic Design and Installation Association. The huge gathering in London's docklands reveals the latest, state-of-the-art designs in home automation. Historically, Cedia has specialised in installing electronic systems for the home that perhaps only the super wealthy could afford. This year, one of the award categories was for the best Cinema Home Installation costing less than £20,000. Such luxuries, on show at Cedia, have always been beyond the pocket of the average consumer. Now, using internet protocols, researchers have been exploring more affordable means of home automation, in which hand held devices such as PDAs or mobile phones might activate everything from your house lights to your security cameras. Gareth Mitchell visits Cedia.
