1. I know those things, but my 800 was 'cheap' as well (around 400 euro in total with good contract). This is too good to be true, but at least one guy already got his delivered.
  2. Just purchased a HomeWizard (Dutch company) package, to start automating my home.. Lights, weather information, smoke detectors: all will either sent messages to my phone, and/or will I be able to control or automate them using my phone or online panel. Looking forward to another use of our nowaday technology

    Wow, that's amazing, when I move to my own house I want it to have that kind of automatizations (is that the word? lol)... Being able to switch on the washing machine or to turn off the heating while you're away must be awesome

    wow that's nice. So how much would such a package cost?
  5. Judging on the site the starter kits go from 240 - 330 euro.
  6. Correct, a starter kit is 240 euro (around 300 US$) which will give you the home device, two pair of sockets, a remote and a weather kit which you can use to measure temperature and read that live and historically out from your phone (or any device). It's very cheap to buy new equipment for it that will seamlessly work with the home device, 20 euro for 2 sockets and a remote, 25 euro for a socket with dim-ability etc.

    There are also devices that connect with your energy source (how much energy does your house use per second etc.), with your curtains (automatically close or open them), IP camera's, motion detectors, door/window open/close detectors and much much more But let's start with the basic stuff.
  7. sounds very nice...
    sooo...should we start a hacking contest? First one to manage to turn off Remy's computer wins!
  8. Hahaha, or hacks his stereo to play justin bieber at 3 am in the morning
  9. So my phone is in coma I think. It was extremely bad luck... I stepped off the bus, the cable to my headphones got stuck in something, that pulled the phone out of my pocket somehow... And swung it under the bus... I picked up the phone with tyre tracks on it.

    I think I'm gonna get an LG Optimus L9. At about 230 euros it seems to be a good bit of phone for the money. Anyone who wants to protest?
  10. OMG, that's an awful lot of bad luck, but it's quite funny to imagine your face while you saw the bus actually walking over your phone It happened to me quite a long time ago with an unknown phone (black&qhite screen, huh? I mean long time ago) with the train. I still remember my horror

    L9 seems to be quite trendy over here, it's taking a good part of the cake that Samsung is starting to leave due to their tech & customer service problems.
