Thank you Danny Briere! 30. März 2000
Von Ein Kunde
Format:Taschenbuch
I read all of these reviews, and I think that it's important to know what the book is and is not. The authors say it above -- it's not a "here's where you put this wire" type of book. It's a design guide and something that you need to read before you read the "here's where you put this wire" types of books. I found it to be extremely helpful in providing the big picture. I think the example provided in one of the reviews about pages 42-43 were unfair -- I looked them up -- they're from the overview sections at the front of the book. Check out the later parts of the book and it gives you more detail than you want -- the part on which modulators to buy for instance. If you are looking for a wiring guide for your audio or stereo system -- this is not for you; if you are looking to figure out an overall approach towards wiring audio, video, security, home control, home automation, etc. -- which I personally would urge you do before you plunk down money on this all -- then I think this book is perfect. There's only so much anyone can do in 300 pages, and I think the authors did a great job in doing what they set out to do -- to introduce me to all my options and what I need to be thinking about when putting together a smart home. The wiring diagrams I can find elsewhere.

An absolute must have 28. Juli 2000
Von Ash Patel
Format:Taschenbuch
This book is an exceptional investment for anyone who is building a new home and contemplating smart-wiring it (and you should smart wire -- it just makes all the sense in the world).

The book explains all the reasons why equipping your house with smart technology makes sense and then makes a compelling argument on the economics of the venture -- the return on investment is exceptional.

The book also presents the information in clear concise language and de-mystifies the jargon. You'll be able to talk to contractors with confidence in their language and you'll save money by buying your own wire -- the book tells you exactly what you need. My contractor told me upfront that he'd tack on 10 percent to the price of the wire as 'book-keeping' cost. So when I bought my first crate of CAT5, the book had already paid for itself.

Only one thing would have made this book better -- instructions or advice on how to actually physically install the wire (which is hard to find anywhere). I hired a contractor, and even though I'm satisfied that I got value from the project, I could have saved more if I'd done it myself.

In anycase, nice work guys.

Good for some concepts 24. April 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
I'm rating this book on how well it introduces novices to the "automated home" world.

This book does a really good job describing the basics of many different concepts in home automation and networking. I felt that it concentrated a lot on building a new smart house, rather than installing the technology in an existing home.

If you are interested in learning about automated homes, get this book. If you are already know the basics of home automation, borrow this book. If you are a "smart home" enthusiest who has already completed some automation projects and want's a detailed guide for your next one, look elsewhere.
