There’s one major drawback though. If i understand correctly it only works with O N E !!! phone brand.
Guys.. They are at an Expo. So, yes, they show products. Maybe the Ford AD is a little bit much? Could be. But, they are there to show new products and give information about it. So, i don’t have a problem with that.
It sounded like she called it a wiimote
lol Darren, watch your fly next time you go to air 😉
@cashmoneyowns his fly was not undone. it was the corner of his shirt.
I think Plugwise is a better product by the looks of things…
belkin sucks
Darren needs a nautical-themed pashmina afghan
Nice one! I wonder if you can setup the motion sensor to alert you if it triggers when you’re away from home. That could give you a chance to take some kind of action, call the cops or something.
Nice ‘infomercial"…Belkin is grateful.
@psychovez What did you use? Seems interesting! Could you give some infos ?
@itTutorials4You I used a Rabbit 4000 microcontroller which has a RJ-45 port on it, with some custom built light switches that activate from a 5V output of the controller. All the switches use a CAT-3 input which is what I use to hook them up to the controller from anywhere’s in the house. The coffee machine was a project for class so it’s slightly more involved (bunch of sensors and stuff). Then it’s just a matter of writing apps (Linux and Android) to interface it all.
Its all about x-10! I still have about 30 x-10 modules… they all work, and theres an app for that.
Meh, doesn’t beat the system I built which controls my light switches in my apartment and my coffee machine from the CLI or my smartphone…
