x-10 Technology – The Low-key Protocol

Article by Andrew Reed for Vertex Security & Technology

Last December we described the Superna Home Automation system in the context of its convenience and ease of operation for homeowners and apartment dwellers. Now, for those who are neither techno-geeks or -phobes, but just interested and curious potential customers, here’s a somewhat closer look at the x10 protocol that’s one of the industry standards for operating automated systems.

x10 is a communications protocol. Unlike familiar protocols like TCP/IP that are used in sophisticated computer communications, however, x10 uses only one-tenth of one percent – 1/1000 – of the bandwidth needed for a dial-up connection. The system simply piggy-backs on the 60 mHz power of standard home wiring by sending a 120 mHz signal along the same electric lines. That limitation is also a benefit: x10 commands are slow, low-power, and very simple: “turn the radio off,” for example.

Here’s how the protocol works. An x10 system can have up to 256 addresses, devised by using the first 16 letters of the alphabet – A through P – and numbers “1″ through “16.” An x10 controller is connected to your computer, and a receiver is plugged into an electric outlet (or a wall switch can be hardwired to the system).

Going Green With Low Home Mortgage Rates

Article by Home Loan Center Editorial Staff

While the most obvious way to save money on your home is by securing a low mortgage rate, savvy homeowners can also reap financial benefits from the latest energy-efficient products and environmentally-friendly technology. Whether you install solar panels, a “green” heating and cooling system, or explore new uses for old materials, it pays to supplement low home mortgage rates with money-saving ideas.

Energy Audit

You can hire a professional to evaluate your home’s energy efficiency, or perform your own inspection. The areas most likely to give you trouble are inadequate water heater and home insulation, and the leaks around windows and doors that reduce the efficiency of your heating and cooling systems, depending on the season. Check the U.S. Department of Energy’s website for more recommendations.

Big Savings at Tax Time

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT) offers consumers and businesses the opportunity to earn federal tax credits for buying energy-efficient products such as hybrid cars and home appliances. Your potential savings are impressive, particularly coupled with any additional tax incentives your state may offer for choosing energy-efficient products. To learn more about state tax rebates, check with your state government office.

What Home Automation Can Do for Your Family and Home

Article by Harry Home

It’s quite amazing to see movies that feature automated devices. They seem impossible to have in this real world. But it’s not all camera tricks. Because of today’s highly advanced technology, automated devices and gadgets are now possible. You can even have it in your own home. Home automation is now widely available especially in wealthy countries. People who have it in their homes say that it’s part of the house, like outdoor and indoor decorations. These home automation gadgets may be very important to some people, but there are also those who regard it as a waste of money or just a silly device.

Different people have different needs and uses for home automation gadgets. If you have a habit of buying things that are not useful, then it would be better to invest on HA. Home automation is divided into categories, the first one is security and the other one is convenience.

Customer Service Software: A Technological Helping Hand

Article by Emerging Technologies

In a time when many companies are downsizing, while still trying to improve business and remain competitive, customer service software provides a technological helping hand. With human resources at a premium, this is the answer to giving the consumer the best level of service available, although there are not as many representatives. It is a business expense that essentially pays for itself, in a very short amount of time.

Wages Free

In all honesty, most companies are downsizing because they simply cannot afford to pay wages and benefits to so many employees and still keep their doors open. So, more and more people are joining the ranks of displaced workers. But, customers still expect the same level of care. If that is not provided, they will seek out the competition. Enter customer service software.

Customer service software does not replace the quality of speaking directly to a representative. But, it can answer the basic questions and deal with many standard concerns, while freeing employees to handle the more pressing problems of the day.
