Talking with Mike made me think !

There was a killer house on that show after Lost which literally made me want to copy it – They had used whole-home automation and performed a so-so job making it all work. Each fireplace was integrated and I didn’t see this coming but the litter boxes plus the pool were talking to each other.
I’ve been excited by lighting control for a while now but I’d never seen a system of this caliber, it was amazing and truly remarkable.
Sometimes I dream of having the house more automated so it can like following me with music through the house or reminding us of obligations as we leave the house. Many things are a bit out from now (it should be noted that some people are doing it) on the other hand more practical items for example lighting and music that can be remotely controlled are available and inexpensive lately. This week I’m going to plead my case to my financial advisor- following which she can blame the site that got me interested: Home automation products

When it comes to technologies considered to be domotics I can’t resist any of the new products being released through places such as SmartLabs and SmartLabs.
Almost all of the new products being released shouldn’t be considered really as as much of a movement as one would imagine seeing as these things was done through other means utilizing existing readily available stuff but nowadays they are offered as a organized set. That and now you don’t need a complicated circuit diagram to set things up.
Looking closer we see a few likenesses between the various technologies. For example, few of the offerings use cordless products as RF relays, and it’s hard to find one that doesn’t use radio frequency one way or another. Beyond this however, it becomes more complicated – I’d rather not endeavor to describe it here and explain things poorly, there’s a site here X10 home automation is better at showcasing the contrast points.
Now if anyone has good ideas for ways to bring in enough dough to make up for the recent compulsion, comment below and help me out!
