Lot of things going on this summer. Going Crazy, may take a day for me to get back to you via e-mail. With the exchange rate on the U.S. dollar getting closer, some of my hard coded US $ conversions may be off. All Currencies shown in Canadian $ are walid, and is what we bill out at. Been having some delays shipping smoke detectors int the US. We ship US Priority Mail equivalent, but as smokes are radio-active they appear to be getting delayed crossing the border, they ar arriving, but sometimes they appear to take an extra week

Listed down this page is a collection of DSC alarm sales and technical tips, which unless you scrolled down this page you would not even know they exist. The new 1832/64 panels have been designed so that they can call a phone, such as your cell phone and let you know when your alarm has trigged, and notify you what zone has tripped. Neat little add-on feature Telephone Notification
Welcome to July, Hope everybody in Canada had their flag out, ate back bacon and drank to much beer on the weekend, and cleared the snow off the drive To those of you in the U.S. I hope you all have your flags ready, apple pie on the table, and a bottle of J.D. ready.
Running like a chicken with its head cut off, going as fast as I can, most items are shipped the same day they are ordered, other than Leviton, which takes 4 days to get in. Shipments of smokes to the US appear to be having some delays, but they do not get lost. I suspect the delays are due to the fact they are radio-active and may be tripping some sensors at the border
DSC is now shipping the IT-100 units, I have them in stock
For those of you in Toronto and area, last weekends thunderstom took out your alarm panel when the power was restored. No kidding, now is the time to replace your little minimal 4 amp hour battery with a new 7 amp hour. I'm not going to go into a rant about why, just do as I tell you, and no, I do not have a store, you cannot pick one up, freight 5$, GTA Get this battery Don't fry your panel
Not seen any Z-WAVE OR IT-100 units, everything else is stable. For those of you using air conditioning systems, if you go down into the basement where the furnace is and the room is really cold AND the furnace when running air is going 'whoof' 'whoof' , then get your furnace cleaned, it means the 'A' frame is clogged. Save a boatload of electrical costs. Free information here folks
Went shopping on the web yesterday for some car parts. It's a scary place ! and I own this web site !! Confidence is not high on some of these sites. I'm amazed at how many companies do not ship to Canada, and for sure they do not know the international shipping game. Some disclaimers are totally scary, got to wonder at times, well, I do, which brings me to this site, totally secure, happy and honest, all email replied to, prompt friendly telephone service some days, other days, so-so. Pricing charged as shown, low freight charges, no duty/taxes into the U.S. Shipments to offshore North America, about 5 days. When you get your Visa statement our company name is listed, not 12689 Inc. I'm a one man show, got a question ? call me @ 905-294-6473. I may not be in my office or near a computer, but though the magic of cell phones we can talk, I carry a pencil and paper, good to go. Cheers
June, 2007, our 20th year of business has started, no longer a teenager. This is a good reason to party for the year. Will think of something OK, hows this, if you have purchased from us before - and we know who you are, 10% OFF, at least for June, everybody else, regular price. Running out of Girl Guide cookies. Got the security sales in, not posted them, really busy, moving as fast as I can, e-mail a couple of days behind. We have 2 seasons here, winter and summer. Once minute you are in your igloo and bam, the igloo is gone and the countryside explodes with life. With the Canadian dollar on the rise to the US dollar, my pricing out out of whack by a couple of points. Smarthome products, to Canadians, has dropeed in price, the smoke detectors, to the Us are higher than posted. Will correct this month.
The big guy from X-10 just dropped off this PowerPoint Program that explains X-10 to you, 10M in size, all yous X-10 PowerPoint Catalog

Pool Pump Control
May in Southern Ontario is the month where we go from Winter right into Summer. Spring lasts about 35 minutes. To celebrate this
I have the X10-Pro 220V 20Amp wall switch on sale. Use this to control your pool pump. A 1hp pool pump will cost you a little over 1$ a day to operate
Put this switch in to turn your pump off at night, on in the morning. Will pay for itself in a matter of days, 20Amp switching capacity @
220VAC. Converting your pump over to 220 from 110 will make the pump run smoother, cooler, cheaper, last longer, 2 year warranty

May. If can read this you made it. Congratulations. Working on this months iteration of the website, The Canadian dollar is stronger, or the U.S dollar is weaker. Guess it depends on ones perspective, redoing the currency conversions, Smarthome price are therefore lower. Going as fast as I can
International Diplomacy: 10% OFF on all offshore orders
Leviton Canada will be shipping their new Z-wave family at the Start of May, Well thats what they said in April, which has now been pushed out to June
For those of you in Southern Ontario, that hot yellow thing in the sky is called the sun, no, it's not the moon burning
With the high cost of electricity, global warming, and the population of North America getting older, I'm amazed that people are not into the automation of their houses. X-10 Sales are lower now than they were 20 years ago. I could go on for hours about this, but won't. Simple control of lighting and heating systems can greatly reduce your energy bill, and make your life a lot easier. I have had a computer running my house for over 20 years, we never touch a wall switch, motion activated, event driven, nothing radical. You will not see my house in a magazine, not into flash. Simple, basic, walk into the stair well to the basement, lights go on, walk out of a room, lights go off, go to bed/leave the house, house shuts down. Simple, basic, low energy bills. We do not wear sweaters in the winter, or sit in the dark. Why have the lights on in the basement when you are not there ? Perhaps people just like paying the utility companies.

NEW, ALMOST HEREDSC GSM GS3055I Communications
This is so new the paper is still warm
|
When designing a security system, keep in mind one of the first places an intruder goes is to the side of the house to cut the phone lines. Usually they cut every cable they can find: Phone, TV, Satellite, a real mess. But YOU are smarter. If at all possible, relocate these cables so they are hidden, in a pipe, in the ground, someplace where they would not expect to find them. Then in the location where they should be, run a set of dummy cables that are actually connected as zones to the alarm panel. In this way, when they cut the cables, the alarm goes off. Put a siren nearby. They will cut the lines before they touch the siren, you could of course fool them all with the above wireless dialer 3055I

Items are shipped via the Postal System, insured, with a tracking number. It's the best way to ship boxes anywhere, no duty/taxes upon entry to the U.S.

PK5590CL: Vapourware Are you are looking for the new DSC PK5590CL touch screen keypad, pictured in the DSC catalog ? Well, DSC discontinued it. What I was told is that they negotiated a contract with a supplier who could not deliver the goods so DSC dropped it, after the catalogs went to print. I'm sure they are working on it, but thats the current scuttlebut, just like MasterCard says, priceless. All the news here folks. If you go to GOOGLE and type in PK5590CL you gotta ask yourself why are all these companies telling me how great this thing is, it actually never existed. Old news, Summer 2006 April 2007: I have received an update from DSC as to the status of this device, as they are not impressed with my comments above. They are looking to have this unit in production some time this summer, that is to say After June 21, 2007 and before Christmas 2007. I'm ready May 2007: Still Waiting |

A quote from Steve 'The Arm' Turner
After doing this for almost 20 years, you have to have some humour, so here is a search engine buzzword babble of wizzle waggle..... Welcome to the Canadian eh, in Canada, Automation Website Store.

Below this is a map of Canada. We are a rather large country, a little North of the United States. The home of Santa. FYI: Canada supplies most of the worlds cold water that feeds the Artic. That water is now so warm that the Icecap and Permafrost is melting. Our majestic Polar Bears are about to become members of the
endangered species list. The snow in the North is going away. Think about it as you look at this map. So you are a Canadian eh, name the rivers feeding the Artic, the second main river is the Churchill
