Every once in a while, I hate accidents on my route!

Most weeks I am apathetic about my job, but there are times when the drive coming in is sufficient to make me want to go back to bed. Just so many lousy drivers and a passing interest in thoughts to driving. Adding to this, what happens next? I knocked over my carefully balanced coffee on the last corner in to the lot...
Blah.

I want nothing more than X10

Like most things associated with house automation I really like some of the recent devices being released through vendors such as Power Control Systems and Power Control Systems.
Many of the recent items being released aren’t really as as much of a movement as one would imagine because this stuff likely had been accomplished through other means using currently accessible standard stuff but for beginners they are presented as a clean little kit. Another perk is you won’t require an electrical engineering degree to set things up.
Upon closer inspection there are many parallels among the vendor offerings. As an example, none of them use portable devices as RF relays, and nearly all devices use RF in some capacity. When investigating further though, it becomes more complicated – Rather than attempt to explain it here and mess it up, a site like this Z-Wave home automation does a good job of showcasing any differences.
That said anyone with any legal ideas relating to ways to pull together enough dough to make up for my latest compulsion, for pete’s sake let us know!
