HTINews - Tips & Tricks Contest

We've started up an archive of the many great Tips and Tricks submitted to the contest so far and will keep adding to it. This month Applied Future Technologies Inc. has generously donated a copy of their HomeVoice software as our prize. Retail value $300.00. This revolutionary software allows you to speak to your home automation system and command it from any room. You don't even need a Star Trek communication device.
