Home Automation Blog

Two weeks ago a house on holmes on homes that totally caused me to beg my wife – It was crazy automatic showers and had done a so-so job of putting the pieces together. Almost every window curtain was centrally controlled and stuff like the inside doors and hot tub were accessible from the many panels in the house.


I have loved X10 for ages but seeing a dream house like this, it was amazing and I’m still in shock.
Sometimes I dream of making our condo do neat stuff like running a bath by just asking the house to or voice alerting us to someone at the door. Many things are a ways in terms of general accessibility (although some average people could do it) nevertheless items like lighting and music that can be remotely controlled should be locally available and easy(er) on the pocket lately. I really should plead my case to my financial advisor...... after which she can blame the site where I found the information: Insteon vs X10

Migrating starting with automation over into home theatres is hardly very big of a change in view of the fact that lots of folks likely started their exploration for lighting through a remote control to make the perception of home theatre experience perfect. Maybe it’s just me but the Logitech Harmony controllers have been a miracle and we bought one for virtually all of our house’s tv watching areas. Especially since we don’t do the non-PVR style of watching any more, it seems there’s perpetually a million different items to flick on and it I hated - picking up one remote control followed by the subsequent one until all the devices were on, before we have to repeat the procedure after whatever I was watching was done.

Speaking of remotes, the crossover of items from Zwave with home entertainment is becoming nearer by the day with quite a few prevalent producers making infrared control from your automation system as of late and because of this anyone with an interest can now perform actions such as turning on and off a music player at the far end of the house utilizing only the RF home network device. Very cool overall, though it’s elaborated on with more of a tutorial style here X10 home automation than many blogs so it’s a essential location to check out.

That guy is almost scarily passionate when reviewing Insteon.

It’s pretty well known that for technologies considered to be automation I pay a lot of attention to any of the new releases created from consortiums like SmartLabs and the Zigbee Alliance.

It should be noted that the recent items created aren’t actually as new as they appear because these things could all be built before utilizing other basic component stuff but for those starting out they are accessible as a clean little set. One other thing is these kits don’t require a complicated circuit diagram to figure it out.

Looking closer we see quite a few correlations with the technologies involved. For instance, almost none of the technologies use cordless devices as RF boosters, and nearly all devices use wireless communication in some capacity. Digging deeper however, things become more complicated – I’d rather not try to describe it now and make a bunch of errors, this place Z-Wave home automation has good discussions talking about any discrepancies.

So anyone with any thoughts relating to ways for me to bring in enough funds to pay for the latest compulsion, please help me out!

Changing passions from lighting control over into home entertainment is not very big of a conversion considering most folks (not counting us) probably began their exploration for mood lighting via a remote to make the uber-cool home theatre replica just right. Maybe it’s just me but the Harmony remote controls are a key device and we own one for all of the tv’s. Since I almost never watch that live programming style of watching at all, there is almost always a million different receivers and the like to flick on which took so much time picking up the first clicker and then the next until things were setup, just to repeat the process after the show was finished.

The other thing is, the merger of lighting control and home entertainment is getting more real each week with almost all popular manufacturers releasing IR commands from any home network as of late and so you can perform actions we couldn’t do before like scripting a radio which could be in an adjacent room of the condo having just one’s RF automation controls. Can you tell I’m excited? It’s neat, though the whole thing is elaborated on better at Zwave lighting when compared to some Insteon sites so it’s a informative spot to learn from.

I love that he is way too enthusiastic about technology.

Many days I take satisfaction in the day job, but there are times when the trip by itself is enough to convince me to retire early. Just so many horrible people driving with barely any attention to the pavement. To top it off, I then knocked over my carefully balanced coffee on the last corner in to the lot...

Worst day ever.
