Wireless temperature monitoring can save you money

Home Automation, Networking & Internet / By /

Typical central air systems for homes have a fatal flaw – a single thermostat for the entire floor if not the entire house. You then typically end up with different rooms being at different temperatures.

Today’s technology lets you manage this problem cheaply. Snag a bunch of wireless sensors and deploy them around the home. They in turn report back to a central system that you can monitor to figure out where you may need to improve the insulation and/or adjust the airflow into that room.

You may be able to take it a step further by having the vents motorized and automatically controlled to open/close based on temperature thresholds.

LED Shower Light – changes color based on water temperature

1 Comment / Gizmo of the Day, Home Automation / By /

If you’re tired of jumping into the shower in the morning only to find out that its ice cold then this gizmo is designed for you. The LED Shower Light installs to your regular shower pipe and takes no more then five minutes to install. For someone like myself I must say I enjoyed the ease of installation because I typically dislike doing home repairs/improvements.

The concept is actually really simple and a two year old will quickly get the idea. Basically when the water is cold or chilly the light will shine blue, and once the water warms up to over 89 degrees F (32 degrees C) then it will turn red.

Now there is absolutely no reason to jump into the shower in the morning still half asleep and be rudely awakened by the cold rush of water to hit your body. The light also makes showering more fun for younger children as I’m sure they’ll love the LED lights that change.

Features:
* Installation takes minutes
* Red = Hot (89+ Degrees F)
* Blue = Cold/Chilly (Below 89 Degrees F)
* Don’t need to use batteries
* Roughly 4 inches in diameter
* Installs onto regular shower pipes

Gimme!
