Install a Light Switch Without Running Any Wire and Avoid Tearing into Walls
The AD HOC Electronics Basic Wireless Light Switch Kit is the perfect solution for adding a light switch virtually anywhere in your home without needing to run new wire. The kit includes one self-powered wireless light switch and one RF relay (non-dimming) receiver. The receiver is simply wired between the power and the light, and then stored in the light box behind the fixture. The light switch is programmed to the receiver through a simple single-button configuration procedure. This battery-free wireless light switch saves you time and hassle by eliminating the need for wires and switch boxes. Traditionally the wireless light switch is surface mounted on a wall with screws or industrial tape but can also be used in a standard switch box or as a wireless hand held remote. The switch is powered by EnOcean technology that converts the press of the switch into a small amount of electricity. This electricity is used to transmit a radio frequency (RF) wireless signal that communicates with the relay receiver. By adding more switches you can install 3-way and 4-way lighting applications quickly and easily. Or add more relay receivers and control an unlimited numbers of lights with one switch. With an RF wireless range of nearly 100 feet, AD HOC transmitters and receivers allows you to add lighting control from almost anywhere in you home.
Black Hat 2010: Branden Williams, RSA
Branden Williams is one of the thought leaders in the PCI field, or at least someone like me who blogs about it a lot and hopes others find value in our thoughts. I had a few minutes to catch up with him at Black Hat, where we discussed what he’d seen at Black Hat as well as the upcoming changes to the PCI DSS. It appears that not much has changed since our talk and that the conclusions that we drew still remain consistent with what the PCI Council has released since then. Pardon the background noise, we accidentally chose what we thought was a quiet corner but turned out to be one of the major staff entrances and exits.
