Warrant  No.  WCS-2                          Date  of  Issuance:  October 5,2000

                               HOME DIRECTOR, INC.

                          Common Stock Purchase Warrant

     Home  Director,  Inc.,  a  Delaware  corporation  (the  "Company"), for Ten
Dollars  and as an inducement to cause General Instrument Corporation ("GIC") to
enter  into  that  certain  Technical  Services  Agreement, dated as of the date
hereof,  between the Company and GIC (the "Technical Services Agreement") hereby
certifies  that  Motorola,  Inc.  ("Motorola"),  an  affiliate  of  GIC  or  its
registered  assigns (the "Registered Holder"), is entitled, subject to the terms
and  conditions set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at any time after
the  respective  dates  referred  to  in Section 1.1 hereof and on or before the
relevant  Expiration  Date  (as  defined in Section 5 hereof), upon surrender of
this warrant, up to 9,999,999 shares (subject to adjustment as described herein)
of the Company's common stock, par value $.001 per share ("Common Stock"), at an
exercise  price per share equal to $1.25. The shares of Common Stock purchasable
upon  exercise  of this Warrant and the exercise price per share may be adjusted
from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Warrant and are hereinafter
referred  to  as  the  "Warrant  Stock"  and the "Purchase Price," respectively.

1.     Exercise.
       --------

1.1     Exercisability.  Subject  to Sections 2 and 5 hereof, this Warrant shall
become  exercisable  according  to  the  following  schedule:

(a)     one-third  (1/3)  of  the  Warrant, covering 3,333,333 shares of Warrant
Stock  (the  "First  Warrant  Tranche"),  shall  become exercisable on the first
anniversary  hereof;

(b)     an  additional one-third (1/3) of the Warrant, covering 3,333,333 shares
of Warrant Stock (the "Second Warrant Tranche"), shall become exercisable on the
     second  anniversary  hereof;

(c)     the  final  one-third (1/3) of the Warrant, covering 3,333,333 shares of
Warrant  Stock  (the  "Final  Warrant Tranche"), shall become exercisable on the
third  anniversary  hereof;  provided,  however,  that the Warrants shall become
immediately  exercisable  if the Company consummates (A) a consolidation with or
into  another  entity  in a transaction in which the stockholders of the Company

<PAGE>

immediately  prior  to  such  consolidation  or merger own less than fifty (50%)
percent  of  the  combined voting power of the outstanding securities after such
transaction,  (B)  a  transaction  or  series  of  related transactions in which
capital  stock  representing  in  excess of fifty (50%) percent of the Company's
voting power is transferred to any single entity or group of related entities or
(C)  a  sale  of  all or  substantially  all of its assets (a "Change of Control
Acceleration").

1.2     Manner  of  Exercise.  To  the  extent  (and  only  to  the extent) then
exercisable, this Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder, in whole or
in  part,  by  surrendering  this  Warrant, with  the  purchase  form   appended
hereto  as  Exhibit  A  duly  executed  by  such  Registered  Holder  or by such
Registered  Holder's  duly  authorized  attorney, at the principal office of the
Company,  or  at  such  other  office  or  agency  as the Company may designate,
accompanied  by  payment in full of the Purchase Price payable in respect of the
number  of  shares  of  Warrant Stock purchased upon such exercise. The Purchase
Price  may  be paid only by United States certified or bank check payable to the
order  of  the  Company  or  wire  transfer  of  immediately  available  funds.

1.3     Effective  Time  of  Exercise.  Each  exercise  of this Warrant shall be
deemed  to  have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the
day on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided
above.  At  such  time,  the  person  or  persons  in  whose  name  or names any
certificate(s)  for  Warrant  Stock  shall  be  issuable  upon  such exercise as
provided  in  Section  1.4  below  shall  be deemed to have become the holder or
holders  of  record  of  the  Warrant  Stock  represented  by such certificates.

1.4     Delivery  to  Holder.  As soon as practicable after the exercise of this
Warrant  in whole or in part, the Company at its expense will cause to be issued
in the name of, and delivered to, the Registered Holder, or as such Holder (upon
payment  by  such  Holder  of  any  applicable  transfer taxes) may direct:

(a)     a  certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Warrant Stock
to  which  such  Registered  Holder  shall  be  entitled;  and

(b)     in  case  such  exercise  is in part only, a new warrant (dated the date
hereof)  of  like  tenor  for  the  remaining  Warrant  Stock  not so purchased.

2.     Adjustments.
       -----------

2.1     Stock  Splits  and  Dividends. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock
shall  be  subdivided  into  a  greater number of shares or a dividend in Common
Stock  shall  be  paid  in respect of Common Stock, the Purchase Price in effect
immediately  prior  to  such  subdivision or at the record date of such dividend
shall  simultaneously  with the effectiveness of such subdivision or immediately
after  the  record  date  of  such  dividend  be  proportionately  reduced.  If
outstanding  shares  of  Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of
shares,  the  Purchase  Price  in  effect  immediately prior to such combination
shall,  simultaneously  with  the  effectiveness  of  such  combination,  be
proportionately  increased.  When  any  adjustment is required to be made in the
Purchase  Price,  the  number  of  shares  of Warrant Stock purchasable upon the
exercise  of  this Warrant shall be changed to the number determined by dividing
(a)  an  amount equal to the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of this

                                        2
<PAGE>

Warrant  immediately  prior to such adjustment, multiplied by the Purchase Price
in  effect  immediately  prior  to such adjustment, by (b) the Purchase Price in
effect  immediately  after  such  adjustment.

2.2     Reclassification  Etc.  In  case  there  occurs  any reclassification or
                             -
change of the outstanding securities of the Company or any reorganization of the
Company  (or  any  other  corporation  the  stock  or securities of which are at
the  time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) or any similar corporate
reorganization,  including  a  consolidation or a merger in which the Company is
not  the  surviving  corporation,  on or after the date hereof, then and in each
such  case the Registered Holder, upon the exercise hereof at any time after the
consummation  of  such  reclassification,  change  or  reorganization,  shall be
entitled  to  receive,  in  lieu  of  the stock or other securities and property
receivable  upon  the  exercise  hereof prior to such consummation, the stock or
other  securities or property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon
such  consummation  if  such Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior
thereto,  all  subject  to further adjustment pursuant to the provisions of this
Section  2.  Notwithstanding  anything  contained to the contrary herein, in the
event  of  a  merger  or  consolidation  in  which  the Company shall not be the
surviving  corporation,  if the other party to such transaction shall request in
writing,  the  Warrant  shall  become fully and immediately exercisable, but the
Warrant shall expire on the effective date of such transaction to the extent not
exercised  prior  to  such  date.

2.3     Dividends  and Other Distributions. In the event the Company at any time
or from time to time after the date hereof makes, or fixes a record date for the
determination  of  holders  of  Common  Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or
other  distribution payable in securities of the Company (other than in which an
adjustment  is  made  pursuant  to  Section  2.1  hereof)  or in other assets or
property  of  the  Company  (collectively,  a "Dividend"), then and in each such
event provisions shall be made so that the Registered Holder shall receive, with
respect  to  any  Warrant  Tranche  not exercisable at the time of such Dividend
only,  upon  exercise  of  such  Tranche and in addition to the number of Common
Shares  receivable  upon  exercise  of such Tranche, the Dividend which it would
have received had such Warrant Tranche been exercised by the record date of such
Dividend,  subject to all other adjustments called for during the period between
the  record date for such Dividend and the date of exercise date of such Tranche
under  this  Section  2  with  respect  to  the rights of the Registered Holder;
provided,  however that the Registered Holder shall forfeit its right to receive
such  Dividend  if it fails, within 90 days of becoming exercisable, to exercise
that  portion  of  this  Warrant  with respect to which the Company has reserved
Dividends  as  provided  above.

2.4     Adjustment  Certificate.  When  any adjustment is required to be made in
the  Warrant Stock or the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 2, the Company
shall  promptly  mail to the Registered Holder a certificate setting forth (a) a
brief  statement  of the facts requiring such adjustment, (b) the Purchase Price
after  such  adjustment and (c) the kind and amount of stock or other securities
or  property into which this Warrant shall be exercisable after such adjustment.

3.     Transfers.
       ---------

3.1     Unregistered  Security.  Each  Holder  of this Warrant acknowledges that
this Warrant and the Warrant Stock have not been registered under the Securities
Act  of  1933, as  amended  (the  "Securities  Act"), and each Holder agrees not
to  sell,  pledge,  distribute, offer for sale, transfer or otherwise dispose of

                                        3
<PAGE>
this Warrant or any Warrant Stock issued upon its exercise in the absence of (a)
an  effective registration statement under the Securities Act as to this Warrant
or  such Warrant Stock and registration or qualification of this Warrant or such
Warrant  Stock  under  any  applicable  Federal  or state securities law then in
effect,  or  (b)  an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company,
that  such  registration and qualification are not required. Each certificate or
other  instrument  for  Warrant  Stock  issued upon the exercise of this Warrant
shall  bear  a  legend  substantially  to  the  foregoing  effect.

3.2     Transferability.  Subject  to  the  provisions of Section 3.1 hereof and
except  as   provided   below,  this   Warrant  and  all  rights  hereunder  are
transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of the Warrant with a properly
executed  assignment  at  the  principal  office  of  the  Company  and  in full
compliance  with  all  applicable  provisions  of  the  Securities  Act  and  of
applicable  state  securities  laws.  Notwithstanding the foregoing this Warrant
may  not be sold assigned pledged or otherwise transferred (any of the foregoing
being  referred  to  as  a  "Transfer")  to  any person or entity, other than an
affiliate  of  Motorola.  The Warrant Stock shall be subject to the restrictions
set  forth  in  Sections 5.2(b) and (d) of that certain Preferred Stock Purchase
Agreement,  dated as of October 5, 2000 by and between the Company and Motorola.

3.3     Warrant  Register.  The  Company will maintain a register containing the
names  and  addresses  of  the  Registered  Holders  of  this Warrant. Until any
transfer  of this Warrant is made in the warrant register, the Company may treat
the  Registered  Holder  of  this  Warrant  as the absolute owner hereof for all
purposes; provided, however, that if this Warrant is properly assigned in blank,
the  Company  may (but  shall  not  be  required  to) treat the bearer hereof as
the  absolute  owner  hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary.  Any  Registered Holder may change such Registered Holder's address as
shown  on  the warrant register by written notice to the Company requesting such
change.

4.     No  Impairment.  The  Company  will  not,  by amendment of its charter or
through  reorganization,  consolidation,  merger, dissolution, sale of assets or
any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance
of  any  of  the terms  of  this  Warrant,  but  will at all times in good faith
assist  in  the  carrying  out  of  all such terms and in the taking of all such
action  as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the
holder  of  this  Warrant  against  impairment.

5.     Termination.
       -----------

5.1     Warrant  Termination.  The  right  to  purchase  Warrant  Stock upon the
exercise  of  this Warrant shall terminate, to the extent then unexercised, upon
the  fifth  anniversary  of  the  date  on  which  such  Warrant  Tranche became
exercisable,  other  than  a  Change of Control Acceleration which shall only be
exercisable  for  90 days following the date of notice of such change of control
delivered  to the Registered Holder which notice shall explicitly state that the
Warrant will terminate if not exercised within ninety (90) days of the date such
Notice  is  delivered  to  the  Registered Holder (each "an Expiration Date" and
the  Expiration  Date of the Final Warrant Tranche shall hereinafter be referred
to  as  the  "Final  Expiration  Date").

5.2     Termination  of  Technical  Services  Agreement.
        -----------------------------------------------

(a)     Notwithstanding  anything  to  the  contrary  contained  herein,  if the
Technical  Services  Agreement  shall  be  terminated as a result of a breach or
default  thereunder  by General Instrument Corporation (or any assignee thereof)
pursuant  to Section 9.2 of the Technical Services Agreement, this Warrant shall
immediately become fully exercisable and the Registered Holder may exercise this
Warrant  for  a  period  of  90 days from the date notice of such termination is
delivered  to the Registered Holder which notice shall explicitly state that the
Warrant will terminate if not exercised within ninety (90) days of the date such
notice  is  delivered  to  the  Registered  Holder.

(b)     Notwithstanding  anything  to  the  contrary  contained  herein,  if the
Technical  Services  Agreement  shall  be  terminated as a result of a breach or
default  thereunder  by  the  Company  pursuant  to Section 9.2 of the Technical
Services  Agreement,  the  Registered Holder may exercise this Warrant until the
relevant  Expiration Dates of each of the Warrant Tranches regardless of whether
any  such  Warrant  Tranche  was  exercisable  on  the date of such termination.

6.     Notices  of  Certain  Transactions.  In  case:
       ----------------------------------

(i)     the  Company  shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or
other  stock  or  securities  at  the time deliverable upon the exercise of this
Warrant)  for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any Dividend,
or  to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any
class  or  any  other  securities,  or  to  receive  any  other  right;  or

(ii)     of  any  capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of
the  capital  stock  of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company,
any  consolidation  or  merger  of  the Company with or into another corporation
(other  than  a  consolidation  or  merger in which the Company is the surviving
entity),  any  transaction  or  series  of related transactions in which capital
stock representing in excess of 50% of the Company's voting power is transferred

all  of  the  assets  of  the  Company;  or

(iii)     of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up
 of  the  Company;

then,  and in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the
Registered  Holder  of this Warrant a notice specifying, as the case may be, (a)
the  date  on  which  a  record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution  or  right,  and stating the amount and character of such dividend,
distribution  or  right, or (b) the effective date on which such reorganization,
reclassification,  consolidation,  merger,  transfer,  dissolution, liquidation,
winding-up  or conversion is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed,
as  of  which  the  holders  of  record  of Common Stock (or such other stock or
securities  at  the time deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation,  merger,  transfer,  dissolution,  liquidation,  winding-up  or
conversion)  are to be determined. Such notice shall be mailed at least ten (10)
business days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified

<PAGE>
7.     Reservation  of  Stock.  The  Company  will at all times reserve and keep
available,  solely  for  the  issuance  and  delivery  upon the exercise of this
Warrant,  such  shares  of  Warrant Stock as from time to time shall be issuable
upon  the  exercise  of  this  Warrant.

8.     Exchange  of Warrants. Upon the surrender by the Registered Holder of any
Warrant  or  Warrants, properly endorsed, to the Company at the principal office
of the Company, the Company will, subject to the provisions of Section 3 hereof,
issue  and  deliver  to  or  upon  the  order  of  such Holder, at the Company's
expense, a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of such Registered
Holder  or  as such Registered Holder (upon payment by such Registered Holder of
any  applicable transfer taxes) may direct, calling in the aggregate on the face
or  faces  thereof  for  the number of shares of Warrant Stock called for on the
face  or  faces  of  the  Warrant  or  Warrants  so  surrendered.

9.     Replacement of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to  the  Company  of  the  loss,  theft,  destruction  or  mutilation  of   this
Warrant  and  (in  the  case of loss, theft or destruction) upon delivery of any
indemnity agreement (with surety if reasonably required) in an amount reasonably
satisfactory  to  the Company, or (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and
cancellation  of  this  Warrant,  the Company will issue, in lieu thereof, a new
Warrant  of  like  tenor.

10.     Investment  Representations.  The  Registered  Holder  represents to the
Company  that  this  Warrant  is  being acquired for the Registered Holder's own
account  and  for the purposes of investment and not with a view to, or for sale
in  connection with, the distribution thereof, nor with any present intention of
distributing  or selling the Warrant or the Warrant Stock. The Registered Holder
acknowledges  that  it  has  been  afforded  the  opportunity  to  meet with the
management  of  the  Company  and to ask questions of, and receive answers from,
such management about the business and affairs of the Company and concerning the
terms   and   conditions   of  this   Warrant,  and  to  obtain  any  additional
information,  to the extent that the Company possessed such information or could
acquire  it  without  unreasonable  effort  or  expense, necessary to verify the
accuracy of the information otherwise obtained by or furnished to the Registered
Holder.  The Registered Holder has received all information which the Registered
Holder  considered  necessary to form a decision concerning the purchase of this
Warrant, and no valid request to the Company by the Registered Holder hereof for
information  of  any  kind  about  the Company has been refused or denied by the
Company  or  remains  unfulfilled  as  of the date hereof. The Registered Holder
represents  that it is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Regulation
D  promulgated under the Securities Act, is considered a sophisticated investor,
is  familiar  with  the risks inherent in speculative investments such as in the
Company, has such knowledge and experience in financial business matters that it
is  capable  of evaluating the merits and risk of the investment in this Warrant
and  the Warrant Stock, and is able to bear the economic risk of the investment.

11.     Representations  and  Warranties  of  the  Company.  The  Company hereby
represents  and  warrants  to  Motorola  as  follows:

11.1     Authorization  of Warrant Stock. The issuance, sale and delivery of the

conducted.  The  Company  is  duly qualified to transact business and is in good
standing  in  each  jurisdiction  in  which  the  nature  of its business or the
location  of  its  property  requires such qualification, except those where the

business,  operations,  assets or condition (financial or otherwise), taken as a
whole.

11.3     Power  and Authority. The Company has the requisite corporate power and
authority  to  execute  and  deliver this Warrant and to perform its obligations
hereunder.  The  execution,  delivery  and performance of this Warrant have been

This  Warrant  has  been  duly  executed and delivered by the Company and is the
valid  and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in

applicable  bankruptcy,  moratorium, insolvency, reorganization or other similar
laws  now  or  hereafter  in  effect  relating to or affecting creditors' rights
generally  and  general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding
in  equity  or  at  law).

12.     Mailing  of  Notices.  Any notice required or permitted pursuant to this
Warrant  shall  be  in writing and shall be deemed sufficient upon receipt, when
delivered personally or sent by courier, overnight delivery service or confirmed
facsimile,  or  three  (3)  business  days  after being deposited in the regular
mail,  as  certified  or registered mail (airmail if sent internationally), with

14.     Fully  Paid  Shares;  Taxes.  The  Company agrees that the Warrant Stock

liens,  pledges,  options,  claims  or  other  encumbrances. The Company further
covenants and agrees that it will pay, when due and payable, any and all federal
and state stamp, original issue or similar taxes (but specifically not including
any  income  taxes)  which may be payable in respect of the issue of any Warrant
Stock  or  certificates  therefor.

15.     No  Fractional  Shares.  No  fractional  shares of Warrant Stock will be
issued  in  connection  with  any  exercise hereunder. In lieu of any fractional

                                        7
<PAGE>
shares  which  would  otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal to
the product of such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of one share of
Warrant  Stock  received  on  the  date of exercise, as determined in good faith
by  the  Company's  Board  of  Directors.

16.     Amendment  or  Waiver. Any term of this Warrant may be amended or waived
only  in a written instrument executed by the Company and the Registered Holder.

17.     Headings.  The  headings  in  this Warrant are for purposes or reference

to  principles  of  conflicts  of  law.
