The New Automated Home forums are now on-line! - Our new improved forums are now up and running on the excellent vBulletin system providing enhanced performance as well as many new features. Here's a top ten of some of the highlights...

1. RSS Feeds - Feeds are now available for each individual forum as well as a separate "General" feed of the last posts across all forums (click on the RSS symbol in your browser).

2. Email subscriptions - You can now subscribe to an individual thread to be notified of a new post, even if you haven't posted in that thread yourself. You can also subscribe to an entire forum to be notified when any posts are made to it.

3. Better Resizing - The new Forums will resize down to a much narrow width than before. It's readable in 800x600 and you can even view it on mobile devices and smart phones...

Frank McAlinden has contacted us about a special offer of 20% discount on his I/O Expander for HomeVision (now only £39.96 + VAT)...

"Attention all HomeVision Users - Got some Christmas Home Automation that needs some extra I/O? Then take a look at my HV I/O Expander. It's a little device that hangs off the HomeVision Expansion Bus, allowing up to eight input or output devices (or combination) to be connected to the Expander. For example, in my own setup I use an Expander setup as an input device to monitor the status of my alarm pirs and this is used to trigger lighting commands at scheduled times. In the very near future I will be using an Expander as an output device to control my curtains and it's also going to replace an IR relay interface in my setup. Another user has employed the Expander to monitor his Home / Away status via his Keyrack Interface Project. Maybe you need to control some LED lighting? Give it a whirl, especially now as Laser are giving 20% OFF over the Christmas break...

One of our readers has just informed us of this half price offer on the BT Home Monitor system - The offer ends at midnight TONIGHT. The package is reduced from £179.99 to £90.00. At checkout enter the Code BTHM50...

Over the last few days you may have noticed some odd blocks of code appearing on the site, and a lack of updates.

Well, it looks like most of the bumps have been ironed out and we are now on a new super fast server (special thanks to Li and Stuart for all their help).

You should now find Automated Home faster and more responsive than ever.
