I haven’t talked about home security systems for a while. There’s a reason for that. The security world is changing, but not that much. It’s never been an industry that’s big on gimmicks, nor will it ever be. If you want an alarm installed in your home, it’s typically because you’ve been personally affected by […]
I’ll be honest; I’m getting a little tired of all this personal space I’m getting. I never thought I’d miss those shoulder-to-shoulder crowds at concerts, or restaurants. I want desperately to go the grocery store and fight for my place in line with some 80 year old who is oddly aggressive with her cart. I […]
The YRL and YRD Yale electronic locks have recently ended up on the shelves of the Big Box stores, making these locks the number one option for those doing home automation. And honestly, good for them. For the record, we knew this was going to happen. We don’t know what will happen to the quality […]

Reality always is that if you can buy it outright, you should buy it outright, no matter what add-on features are being used to entice you. We’re at the point now where we don’t even consider […]
So, this is a huge topic. For such a small room, communal laundry rooms are a major source of income for a lot of our less honest community members. They are also a major source of expense for many of our building owners. And it’s getting worse. There are a few ways to address this […]
So. I feel like we’ve beaten the whole home automation thing into the ground for now. Maybe that’s because of the total immersion I’ve been experiencing for the past 2 months. It probably is. If I’m not careful, and/if/or statements are going to become part of my vocabulary. That would be bad. It would be […]
We’ve been doing access control systems for a long time. The majority of these systems are controlled by cards and/or fobs. Some of them are in integrated with your alarm system.
