iPad, touch panel of the future?

It will be interesting to see how this will affect overall touch panel pricing, that as many know, have been extremely pricey.

With built in WiFi, sleek platform, and various memory combinations, this could be a great alternative to price panels that may cost in upwards of $4000 each.  (before programming and such)

More news once I finally get my hands on one of these and set it up on the system.

Now users can use their iPhone or iTouch as a full fledged remote for their system.

The newly release software allows for full feedback, allowing status of lights, music and movie data, etc. to be seen whether the user is in the house, or just checking on things remotely.

At one client, simple items as having six wires for seven speakers was observed.

At another, improper placement of wires will cause additional labor, patching, and painting to be done.

At yet at another, improper or no power outlets at certain locations will cause the electricians to come back in and run wires for new outlets.

My point is, if you are renovating, or building a new house, it is critical that you should hire and retain a custom electronic design and installation professional.  A company such as Total Home Technology can work with you on an overall electronic design plan for the house, recommend solutions, supply and install equipment, train, and provide ongoing support.

The biggest issue we have with contractors and architects are that they say their client isn;t “asking” for our services.  My arguement is that you are providing them with a plumbing plan, and HVAC plan, electrical, etc.  then why not offer or recommend someone that can offer them an ELECTRONICS PLAN.

Unlike traditional motion sensors, these may be tied directly into crestron networks, allowing for better control.

Dual-technology motion sensing affords extreme reliability for control of lighting, climate control and other devices in the room.  Ultrasonic and passive infrared technologies provide accurate feedback in all environments.

There is also a built-in photocell.  This may override the occupancy sensor if ambient light is detected above a set threshold. 

Now you can truely start controlling lights, and other environmental items such as HVAC and shade control, all through the use of these products.

Is this a sign that flat panel prices margins have leveled and are decreasing?  The realization that newer technologies will replace plasma technologies within the next few years?

Probably a combination of these and more.

Walking through a store the other day, I saw tens of plasmas and LCDs.  All varying in price, size, options, etc.

How can anyone make an informed decision, some differences are obvious, you will pay more for a larger set vs. a smaller one.  However, when faced with two plasmas, the same size, but different manufacturers, and varying price points (sometimes hundreds or thousands of dollars apart) how is one to know what to do.

It kind of like when you go car shopping, if you go to a Toyota dealership, you wouldn’t expect to see Mercedes there.  So if you go to a Best Buy, you will probably see Toyotas, Hondas, Subarus all lined up.  How can you choose?  If you had some Lexus, Mercedes, or Cadillacs mixed in there, those models probably wouldn’t move simply because people are being compared mostly on a price value, which they will always lose.

So who can blame Pioneer?  Not me.

Check out an introduction video, and check out our home theaters here which showcase Sim2.

For a Theater like experience that immerses you, it really doesn’t get much better than that.

Most stores recorded a decline in sales, with the lone exception being Wal-Mart.

This coupled with an all time low consumer confidence, made for a bleak season.

However, we at Total Home Technology are please that our custom electronic design and installation solutions are still in demand.

You wouldn’t build a house without an architect, you wouldn’t put a bathroom in without a plumber, and you wouldn’t and shouldn’t design and install a home theater or control system without a professional.

The “crystal meetings” as they are becoming known for, ran from 2001 to 2006.

Fines levied were $585 million dollars.

So what does this mean for consumers…  We should hope this will truely drive prices again where competition, supply and demand determine the price.

Assets and Debt are about 1/3 less than the last time they filed, which was less than 2 years ago.

Stay tuned for this ongoing saga…

What does this mean?

It means that even the biggest of retailers may not be there for you.  Who do you deal with?  Where do you go for Audio and Video service?

We have been here to weather the storm, and you can always rely on a Custom Electronics Design and Installation company such as Total Home Technology to find the right solution for you.

We are not about selling thousands of plasmas… we are here to create solutions, and for a Home Life Made Easier (R).
