Tip of the Day



Freewire™ Home Automation

Home automation--once only for the home of the future--is now fast becoming a reality! Why? Better, smaller, and more affordable are key words that have automation taking off! Expensive installations with complicated panels and complex wiring are no longer needed to establish high-tech controls. The new Freewire system by Black & Decker makes home automation as easy as one, two, three! One: plug in the main messenger hub. Two: locate receiver units wherever you want them. Three: activate the hand-held wireless remote, and presto 'ro-bot-o', you're in control of as many as ten appliances or features! Turn remote lights on and off indoors or out; see who's at the front door; pre-set groups of lights for entertaining; unlock doors and activate mini-monitor cams (to name but a few) all with the simple touch of a button. It even works from your car. Sound expensive? A basic setup is under $90! Check it out.
