Grrrr, I don’t like crashes because of inattention!

Most days I don’t hate working for the man, but there are times when the drive alone is reason enough to convince me to go back to bed. Some people are such stupid sheeple and a passing interest in thoughts to the roadway. Making things worse, what happens next? I tipped my coffee on the way into the parking stall...
I hate these days.

Everyone asks about remote control lights

I should let people know that for items related to domotics I really like all the new releases produced by companies such as Power Control Systems and SmartLabs.
What’s interesting is that the recent items produced aren’t really as much of a step forward as you’d think due to the fact that these things could all be accomplished before utilizing available basic items but for those starting out they are accessible as a prebuilt set. One other thing is you won’t need a complicated circuit diagram to set things up.

Upon closer inspection there are many similarities with the technologies involved. One such similarity, not one of the technologies use cordless products as message relays, and it’s hard to find one that doesn’t use radio waves in some manner. When investigating further however, things get more a bit complex – Rather than struggle to describe it here and make a fool of myself, a site like this ISY-99i forum does a good job of talking about any differentiators.

That said anyone with thoughts for methods to pull together some money to make up for my new dependence, please let us know!
