Sure, but the interface could be put everywhere. Even if the real job is done by another application (a backend may I say) the graphical interface can be done using a plasmoid, and this one could be put into the mediacenter shell, like actually works for choosing the file to view in PMC, or its welcome screen. Media Center could be a very easy interface between the user and the home automation system: it's not the system itself, just a frontend. And, anyway, if you have to choose a computer to install the home automation system, would you choose a laptop, or a mediacenter that, for it's nature, is 24 hours on 24 present and operative in your house?
