Newsletter - 4 January 2008 - Automation & Control |
|

We'd like to wish you all a happy New Year, and to thank
our sponsors, advertisers and visitors for their support and
feedback in 2007.
The fifth Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) opens at the end
of this month - please come and see us at stand M63. If you
haven't registered yet, you can do so online
and you can use our invitation code of 904344 for free entry.
(Our apologies to anyone who tried to use the code given in
the last issue - this one works!) The HiddenWires dedicated
ISE
2008 news section offers an ever-expanding preview, and
the HiddenWires@ISE 2008 supplement will be distributed as
a PDF just before the show opens, and in print at the show.
Our feature this month is Automation & Control, and is
sponsored by Crestron.
We have three articles covering the Crestron Adanto, the role
of Web Services for Devices (WSD) in home automation, and
an industry opinion piece on control trends. James Johnson-Flint
of Opus Technologies provides our guest commentary with his
thoughts on the importance of dealers, and Rick Kukulies of
NuVo Technologies kicks off our going green column with a
look at reducing power consumption in whole-house audio systems.
If you have an opinion or issue you'd like to see discussed,
or an interesting technology or project that we should cover,
let us know - we're always looking for new contributors and
fresh ideas.
