Something from behind the scenes in my bar for today's episode. You have seen most of my lights. I have them all setup on a wireless system controlled with a key chain remote. This is what they considered "smarthome" years ago. I found the first kit while buying Christmas lights years ago. It came with a key chain remote, a desktop master station, and I think 2 receivers. I liked it and was able to find a bunch more on ebay. I expanded from just the Christmas lights to every light that plugged into a non-switched outlet. Even did my Mom's house and the fountain pump outside using the outdoor version of the receiver. The remote and reciver contain DIP switches for setting 4 different zones. Each can have 8 different frequencies. I had one set for Christmas, 1 for the bar, 1 for the rest of the house and 1 for my Mom's house. The desktop master control thing was a real bust. Those never did work right so I never used them. They plugged in but ran off of batteries and the batteries always died. Just bought a bunch of key chains and put them in convenient places. Oh and a couple of remotes that look like light switches that stick on the wall. Unfortunately I don't think they make these anymore. I probably bought up the last of them since I got the first in a closeout store and the rest off of ebay. Never saw any more anywhere when I looked. One of these days I'll have to upgrade to a computer controlled system.
