X10

Wired Again

Now that we moved zone from the front to the back, it is wiring time again ...

Nexa

Remember those days when we told you about the table full of X10 elements that had arrived.

Well, today we took a jump in the deep and started to look at a Swedish Alternative, called Nexa.

The main driver for this was that Nexa is readily available here in Sweden in any main street DIY Shop like K-Rauta or Bauhaus and it caught my eye as it has the typical X10 wheel, but would it work with our already installed suite of X10 and Homeseer ?

So what is Nexa ?
Nexa is a rebrand of the Home Easy Product range using its own proprietary format and targetted to the Swedish Market.

DIY: The Walking Closet Lights

One of our great WAF factors is for sure the Walking Closet and the way the lights are handled there.
You open the door, et voila ... the magic happens.

Offcourse this is not something revolutionary new to have lights going on when you walk in, and you can easily walk into any DIY shop and buy a motion detector aka PIR and have it hooked up to the lights, but if you want to take something that is scalable and reusable for the futher, and can be easily extended and controlled from a central place in the future, then do read on.

The Future ...

Well, we are making good progress and are getting to get a house feeling.

While I am writing this, I am sitting in our new "library" aka "atelier" aka "art room" aka ... no longer rebuilding and making dust, but being creative, and so it becomes to time to think what we will be doing with this one little blog called xhm.

Shall we end it once the real xhm is over ?

Nope, as we do still have a few phases ahead for us in 2009 and 2010, but one constant in the progress will be the increase of home automation in our little house in the Skärgård.

So, while we started this adventure in the stone age and moved ahead to the modern ways of building in wood, the future will be more and more focused around eXtreme Home autoMation and the wonderfull world of using homeseer , X10, Z-Wave and other stuff to make life easy.

X10

Guess what arrived today ... :-)

Still didn't find a local X10 shop in Sweden, so we do trust the Belgians to ship to the outskirts of Sweden the Marmitek stuff :-)
