ADEL Fingerprint Door Lock System

October 2nd, 2006 by Tiago in Home Automation

ADEL Fingerprint Door Lock

I have never been a fan of fingerprint door lock systems but this one looks interesting to say the least, to start with it automatically locks the door after you leave your house – so no worries about that aspect. One point that worries me in this kind of door locks is how easy it might be for a thief to damage the device with a screw driver or any objects that burglars use - is it hard enough or just simple enough? Considering that during the installation part there is only the need to connect one wire to get it to work, the opposite process shouldn’t be too hard unless we count with the alarm system.

Auto Opening Trash Can

September 18th, 2006 by Sam in Home Automation, Kitchen Gadgets

Auto Trash CanYou know the scenario; you’ve just wiped over the kitchen work surfaces and have swept a mass of crud and crumbs into your hand. All you need to do now is open the dustbin lid and deposit said crud into the trash. Aarrgg! On opening the bin, you’ve now lost most of the muck onto the floor and all around the bin. Much cursing then begins as you re-start the process of cleaning up the crud off the floor!

Well, help is now at hand (pardon the pun!) with the automatic Hands Off Garbage Can. The bin is fitted with an Artificial Intelligence (AI) smart-chip which opens the lid on sensing your approach. Therefore no need to juggle with hands full of trash anymore.

harmony-1000.jpgLogitech has a brand new universal remote control in the house that comes equipped with all the functionalities that were available on its predecessors, with additional improvements to bring the Logitech Harmony 1000 Universal Remote Control to a whole new level. This affordably priced universal remote control could be classified as a necessary luxury as living rooms get more and more cluttered with plenty of new devices by the day. Any sane person could be excused for wearing a straight jacket as he/she tries to figure out which remote control is used to turn the channel on the HDTV, begin recording on your DVD recorder, as well as streaming music from the Home Theater PC and managing its play list.

keyless-entry-deadbolt.jpgHow many of us often lose our keys (and in the very same process, gain a few strands of grey hairs as well as lose some sanity), only to call the locksmith and change the entire household’s locks? This could turn out to be a rather costly affair in the end, not to mention time consuming and inconvenient. Why not settle for a keypad deadbolt lock that does not run on batteries or electricity? Smart Home is offering the Ultra-Secure Digital Deadbolt for just $99.99, and it is worth the investment since you would not want to risk your little piece of Utopia being broken into without a fight.

Beyond Microwave Oven - The Perfect Cook

August 26th, 2006 by Edwin in Home Automation, Kitchen Gadgets

Beyond Microwave
Most of us definitely aren’t gourmet chefs judging by the type of dinners we take every day. Most of the time we mindlessly pop in a frozen TV dinner into the microwave, close the door, set the estimated cooking time, and wait. If it doesn’t quite turn out right in the beginning, we either increase the power and time via experience before a piping hot meal is ready for our consumption. Of course, there are always people on the far end of the spectrum who might not even comprehend the ease of using a microwave oven.
