Multi-room audio systems are here to stay and while you can spend a fortune on speakers for a home theater ... that's not necessary with multi room systems. In-ceiling speakers located throughout the house add a new dimension to your environment.
Remote Home Networking Support
Residential LANs are still designed separately from the automation network, but custom A-V integrators are starting to install small home networks, connecting 2-3 PCs, a printer and a DSL or cable modem. Dealers continue to expand their home networking knowledge base through training and the acquisition of networking savvy technicians, and the demand for home networking continues to push custom integrators beyond the limits of early entertainment applications and into the new generation of residential information technology.
Selling Home Automation to Builders
The business vision discussed here is intended to create a new generation of houses in the next few years, designed to receive integrated HA systems through the builders, but without forgetting that the main player in this process is the end user.
Shanghai Interactive/Digital TV
In early 2002, the Shanghai municipal government "advised" SCN to accelerate the digital TV project and gradually migrate to interactive TV services in the next few years.

802.11 vs. Bluetooth Revisited
Both technologies will be better positioned to thrive if coexistence schemes currently being developed are broadly implemented. In addition, cost-effective combo 802.11/Bluetooth solutions should play an important role, as there are clearly situations where device vendors ideally need to support both technologies in a single host device for different applications.
A Day in the Life
A typical day in the life of a home automation system controller ... as seen through it's eyes ... if it had them that is!
A Low Cost Home Automation Controller
Many features are controlled from one MM-443 Magicmodule Programmable Controller. There is room in the programmable memory to do other tasks that may be unique to your application. At Halloween I use a Magicmodule and MV-480 Voice Annunciator to really give the neighborhood kids a scare as they walk up to my front porch.
Avträk Rotating A/V Equipment Rack
One of the nicest features is the cable management system which consists of velcro strips across the complete width of each shelf. This allows you to get everything wired and functioning and then zipped up tight so you can see through the quagmire and show off your wiring skills to your friends and neighbors.
