Low Cost Home Automation For All Generations




in 2006 and we are in the throws of technology boom. Our cars talk to us to keep us safe and ensure we squirm when we close the door. While at the mall, an automated voice telling us to watch our step when using an escalator or elevator entry. Our home appliances interact with us to let us know where our food is properly cooked or if we are out of milk. So, what happened to our basic home control? Why do I wake up in the morning dark house and stumble our way aimlessly into the kitchen for the first Java cup? Why do we still have to yell at kids to get out of bed from the bottom of the steps?


With today's fast paced lifestyle we all lead, we tend to overlook the most basic of questions and obstacles that we face every day, because we have become used to them. I remember as a child, listening to the kitchen and down come to life, and my parents vie for a pot of coffee in the morning. Then came the inevitable voice of my mother yelled up the stairs to get my Hinny out of bed or I'd miss the bus. Well, that was 20 years ago and still nothing has changed. Our society has grown so fast that we host in our fast-paced life, such as talking to us, cell phones that connect us immediately to our office e-mail and computers that show us our morning news without having to go out there Get it from the front porch that we missed the most basic needs. Why do we spend extra for a car, mobile phone or computer that has an additional user friendly features, but when shopping for an expensive purchase of our lives, like our houses, care more about looks, not functionality. The man walked on the moon, we have landed rovers on Mars, but we still make a grandmother walking room to turn on the lights?


When deciding on my first project of automation, I quickly found that for less than 150.00 the sky is the limit. I could set up a simple remote control system for lights, ceiling fans, or control a simple set of timers that activate specific devices or systems within the house on schedule. Since then, I have installed motion sensors so that it communicates my home with my kids in the middle of the night to keep them safe when using the toilet. My house wakes me up in the morning and turns on the lights in accordance with our regular family routines. It even saves us money for the check to ensure that everyone has to leave the *: 00 and turns off all lights and appliances, if you choose. Regarding security, I have installed a simple 19.00 wireless light switch in my head that has 4 simple buttons. One of them is all the lights on and one is all the lights turned off. From the prone position, can shed light on a house in an instant if I'm afraid someone is intruding or can not turn off all lights and TV in the kids room to flick of the wrist. Guess what, no more yelling.


advanced electronics to take us a long way from the days of old. a little goes a long way, and we as a society are starting to embrace this in our every day life. We are now seeing a rise in home automation community with advanced communications with its shareholders. Remote lighting and voice activated system. What about taking a step further? What is a home that thinks, and sets the timer for you. Helps you wake up in the morning by turning on the lights in the bedroom, and then turns on the lights in the master bathroom, kitchen and kids rooms. How about a radio report from the morning news and coffee pot? It's all here and now with the expansion of the microchip, the costs are usually very minimal. As a minimum you ask? Well, with most X10 systems on the market today, the basic starter kit runs between 49.99 to 99.99 for the software, hardware and accessories as a pendant remote. interactive home is not for the rich or more rich!

What's the best way to carve a chicken?

Some of your recipes call for roasters. I don't live in an area where Perdue chicken is sold, and I haven't been able to find roasters in the stores. What exactly is a roaster, and can I substitute a broiler? A Perdue Oven Stuffer Roaster is a 12 week old bird especially developed for a broad breast. Roasters are bigger than broilers, and have a more favorable meat to bone ratio than broilers. Because they are older birds, they also have a much deeper, richer flavor. You can use broilers in roaster recipes, but plan on the chicken's being done sooner and having a noticeably milder flavor. Frank, by the way, is the man responsible for creating the roaster market. Back in the early 1970s, when few people had ever heard of a roaster, he was the one who worked to breed these broad-breasted birds, and who put the effort into advertising so people would learn about the new product. He surprised his colleagues by how determined he was in his developing and marketing efforts. One o

Why are some chickens yellow skinned and some white?

A chicken's skin color comes from the diet it was fed and the same bird could have a white skin or a yellow skin, depending on what it ate. The diet that produces a yellow skin is more expensive than the usual diet, but the people at Perdue Farms feel it's worth it because a yellow skin color is one of the fastest ways Frank's inspectors have of finding and disqualifying an inferior bird. If a bird is sick or off its feed, it doesn't absorb nutrients well and won't develop the rich golden color that is characteristic of Perdue birds. Also, if part of a bird's outer skin is "barked", that is, rubbed off due to rough handling during processing, the Perdue inspectors can detect it more easily than with a white-skinned bird. Detecting and removing and chicken with a barked skin is important because damaged skin shortens the shelf life and dries out and toughens the meat. No white colored chickens get by the inspectors. Sometimes when I open a package of ch
