Home Automation….. Yeah I can turn on my A/C from anywhere!
So I hadn’t been too big on doing any home automation but for some crazy reason I really got a bug about setting up some automation. So this last week or so I have been trying some different solutions and setting up some devices and have finally rounded out the start to my home automation adventure. The setup consists of the following: A Insteon ToggleLinc Relay and few SwitchLinc – Insteon switches for lights A Venstar 7-day programmable Thermostat and Insteon Thermostat control A pair of Insteon Access Points A Insteon PowerLinc USB Controller My first attempt for software was MControl. Yeah…. can’t really recommend it lot’s of weird issues lots of trouble pairing devices to the PLC (PowerLincController) and support...
The first 1000 miles…
Hit 1000 miles on the Vespa this morning. Very cool indeed hard to believe it’s only been 2 months I feel like I had it forever! On another note Andy and Heather are coming over tonight and the plan is to install some more home automation items and bluetooth in the car. should be fun. I’ll post updates on the whole home automation project soon.

So after a week long battle with trying to make due with a leaky/broken/old/retarded toilet, bought a new one from Hirsch a Gerber Ultra Flush. Man that turbo flush is the shizdizzle. I can flush bricks now! wewt!
