When it comes to things related to domotics I really like any of the new releases produced from consortiums like Home Automation Inc and Power Control Systems.
Nearly all of the new devices produced shouldn’t be considered so much new as they appear since this stuff could be built before working with existing off-the-shelf parts but now they are presented as a nice kit. As a side benefit these kits don’t require fluke testers around the house to figure it out.
A deeper look shows us several correlations with the product lineups. One such similarity, none of the offerings use battery-operated devices as message boosters, and almost all products use radio waves in some manner. Digging deeper though, it gets more a bit complex – I could venture to describe it here and mess it up, there’s a site here Insteon thermostat has good discussions highlighting some of the variations.
Now anybody having any legal ideas relating to ways to pull together sufficient moolah to make up for my latest addiction, don’t hesitate to pass it along!
