Well, this is what the <A href="http://house.propositions.org.uk/">Reconfigurable House 2.0</A> will allow you to do. The interactive installation by Adam Somlai-Fischer,
Ai Hasegawa, Barbara Jasinowicz, Bengt Sjà¶lén, Gabor Papp, Tamà¡s Szakà¡l and Usman Haque, is an environment constructed from thousands of low tech components that can be "rewired" by users. It is not the traditional 'smart house' that acts on your behalf, cooking the meal while you are having a hot bath. 
Devices constructed from hacked low tech toys and gadgets are everywhere. There is a wall made of Cat bricks that meow when you stroke them. And if you raise your eyes up you'll see a ceiling with small penguins flashing their eyes. There is no need to water plants here because the flowers are LED lilies that change colour when touched.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/7A390061-5BA6-4E6A-888A-EA36ACDEBB5F/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
