Home Automation Blog

Transitioning starting with automation into home cinemas is not much of a transition considering the majority of users (not counting us) likely kicked off their exploration for lighting through a remote to make the super cool room-turned-theatre setup complete. Personally the iPod touch remote controls have been a godsend and we now purchased one for each of our tv watching areas. Considering I don’t do the non-PVR thing anymore, it felt like there was always a bunch of things to flick on and it I hated - grabbing the first clicker then the next in line until it was ready, before we have to go backwards on the procedure after the show was over and done with.

While smart remotes are here now, the integration of automation technologies and home theatres is becoming nearer by the time I check with most of the well known vendors prototyping infrared transmit and receive from a home automation system as of late and as a result one can now do stuff like controlling a mp3 system which could be at the far end of the apartment utilizing just the RF Insteon tool. Can you tell I’m excited? It’s neat, although the details are elaborated on with more of a tutorial style at Home automation iPhone when compared to many Insteon blogs so it’s for sure a good location to check out.

That guy is dangerously eager when discussing this stuff.

We watched a huge building on that show after Lost which almost made me stare – The house had motorized drapes and performed a pretty decent job of putting the pieces together. Every light and fan had a remote control and stuff like the dog door plus the robot vacuum were eerily controlled.

We talk about making the superhome that we live in (slight exageration) do fancy tasks like announcing caller ID anywhere in the house or checking our grocery list for items we’re missing. Ok still pretty far from now (although there are people that could do it) however items such as music that can be remotely controlled are well within reach and easy(er) on the pocket lately. In order to make this happen I need to convince the wife... after which she can focus her energy on the place that got me started on all this: Zwave lighting
