Home Automation Blog

The majority of weeks I like working downtown, but some days the traffic to work is enough to force me not to show up. There are sleepy people driving and barely any thoughts to the pavement. As if that wasn’t enough, I then tipped my coffee driving into the parking stall... Think happy thoughts.

Making the jump starting with domotics to home theatres is hardly that big of a change in view of the fact that many people (myself included) probably kicked off their quest for perfect ambiance via a integrated control unit to make the uber-cool home theatre experience complete. In my mind the touchscreen remotes have turned out to be a miracle and we use one for virtually all of our house’s plasmas. Since we never do the live programming style of watching anymore, it seems there’s frequently what seemed like many receivers and the like to switch on which made me so frustrated grabbing one remote control followed by the subsequent one until it was ready, only to go backwards on the method once whatever I was watching was finished.

Speaking of remotes, the commingling of lighting control with home entertainment is getting nearer each week with quite a few of the more well known home automation places prototyping infrared control from a home system now and as a result one can then do things such as commanding a tuner which could be on a different floor of the house using only one’s remote Zwave device. So much to think about, though the details are described better at this Insteon site Zwave devices when compared to most Zwave blogs so it’s for sure a good place which won’t make you feel dumb.
The writer there is seriously excited when discussing this stuff.
