Helpful Suggestions for Cord Organization

2012-02-06T14:54:35Z

Tired of constantly seeing a huge mass of electronic cords sitting on the floor or snaking out from around furniture?

You may have considered purchasing something to control all the cords near your TV or desk, but the Apartment Therapy article entitled “10 Things You Already Own to Wrangle and Label Cords” tells us that we can accomplish this task with stuff we have at home. Quoting the article, “look around your pantry, laundry room, kids’ toy bin and—yep—even the trash can, to find ways to wrangle and label that mess of wires.”

Untangle, lay out and label each cord, and tie them up to the maximum length necessary to connect to the electrical outlet.

Varying Home Lighting for the Seasons

2012-02-01T15:55:11Z

As the seasons change during the year, you probably find yourself turning on the air conditioning when it’s warm outside, and turning on the heat on a cool day. Well, just as we set our thermostats to adjust to seasonal climatic changes, why not start varying home lighting for the change of seasons?

Home automation systems allow you to remotely operate a wide array of lighting and electrical systems inside and outside of your home that can be set to adjust during seasonal changes throughout the year. You can turn on groups of lights throughout the house earlier in the day, or have lights turned on at the garage and front entry when you are returning home as daylight savings time ends. This is all done from one master control or wireless remote. Lighting controls can be connected to home security systems to switch on every house light should a home alarm go off.

Get in touch with Cutting Edge Systems of Westford, Massachusetts for more information about remote control options for varying home lighting to adjust to seasonal and climatic changes. Call 978-392-1392 or visit us online at the Cutting Edge Systems website.

Cutting Edge Systems would like to suggest three great reasons for how home automation will save you time and reduce your stress by giving you peace of mind and greater control over your home.

Save Time Through Automation.
Managing all media sources and home automation systems from one location saves time, and enables you to manage lighting and home systems when away from home.

Peace of Mind About Security.
The Cutting Edge Systems offering remote control lighting and security amenities allow you to monitor your home while at home, or when you are away. Providing a new level of security, they offer real peace of mind regarding the safety of you, your family, and your home.

Greater Control Over Your Home.
