Barnyard Automation started when I got a little tired
with “Home Automation”.
It is a term that has a too broad definition
for anyone to single out.
Other words – ask the “what is” question and
get ten different answers.
Thanks to today’s technology, it simply means
that you can do some really neat stuff with your abode that no one else knows
how to use!
Fun!
When I started to play with things, there where
limited choices.
I decided to network the house and had to go to
commercial suppliers – we did not have Amazon.
When I was asked where the installation was at
I said “my house”, The
deer in the headlight look always appeared.
My first endeavor was using ISDN line for
internet access.
As the phone company was literally giving away
that line to get folks to use it, I had no problem signing on.
Still the question was – Your House?.
Answer - Yep so deal with it. Fast forward to
just before present day.
