2009 is the year of remote controlled curtains

I should let people know that for items associated with automation my wallet is at the mercy of the recent devices coming out from consortiums such as SmartLabs and Power Control Systems.
Many of these latest devices coming out aren’t in reality as revolutionary as evolutionary in that this stuff could all be built other ways working with available off-the-shelf items but instead now they are offered as a nice kit. Another perk is you won’t feel like you need a 6 page schematic to figure it out.
A deeper look shows us a few correlations with the technologies involved. One such similarity, not one of the technologies use handheld remote products as message relays, and they all use RF in some way. Beyond this still, things become interesting – I’m not going to endeavor to portray it at this point and explain things poorly, there’s a site here Insteon iPhone has good discussions analyzing the divergences.
So if anyone has thoughts on methods to earn sufficient cash to sponsor our recent dependence, kindly let me know!
