Book Reviews of Insteon: Smarthomes For Everyone: The Do-It-Yourself Home Automation Technology
Book Review: Very Comprehensive and Informative!
Summary: 4 Stars
While my motivation for buying this book might be different from most people; I bought it because I was looking for a business opportunity as opposed to a DIY/homeowner. Nonetheless, this is a very well thought-out book. It is written in a very easy-to-read style but still manages to convey concepts that are somewhat complex. Mr Strebe covers all the bases and compares Insteon to competing technologies, which is VERY important when considering any kind of major technological commitment. I would very much recommend this book for anyone looking at home automation for either business or home improvement.
