Topic: How to Wirelessly Automate Your Home
In January 2006, I started setting up what I now consider to be a pretty robust home automation setup using Intermatic Z-Wave products to control my lighting. I've fully integrated it so I can control my lights both manually through the use of various devices, as well as in an automated sense through my home automation software package (CQC) and my Elk security system, which controls the rest of my house. The CQC is the backbone to my entire home automation system. It connects to all the various devices I have (Intermatic USB stick, audio receivers, DVD megachanger, and much more).
