My friend, three doors away is an
electrician, me, I’m a software developer with a tendency to any new
gadgets (been doing .net development for nearly two years). We both have
limited companies (he employs, I’m a contractor). Therefore home
automation must be our next step… otherwise we may have to talk to
our
respective wives and kids.
Where shall we start?
We have an R&D budget of £1000 and
would like to do garage doors, curtains, lights, alarms and cameras, and of
course some Ethernet (but mostly wlan). What do people suggest?
We’re
going to start in the father in laws house (8 doors up) so we don’t
have
to travel far! We can’t rewire as we live in new houses with nasty
plasterboard, so the project must be minimal mess.
Your views please…..
J You know you want to design from
scratch!!!!
