Still can’t believe I just purchased a wireless music system for under $800, (something I long thought was totally unachievable). What I love most about Sonos is its simplicity- yes I’m technologically challenged and affordability. It’s like an iPod for your home. After a short lesson from the guys at Advanced Lifestyle Solutions I was set. I can search by artist, album, genre, imported playlist or track. I can even search local and global radio stations. Gone are the days of rummaging for CD’s and changing them every 80 mins, I’m very spoilt now. Don’t get me wrong I still buy CD’s, but now it’s for expanding my digital music library. Sonos can grab music from iTunes, iPod or computer. Using Sonos is so easy it’s not worth wasting words on, (hardest part was getting it out of the box).http://advancedlifestylesolutions.com.au/Home_Automation_Melbourne_Blog/The_rooms_are_alive_with_the_sounds_of_Sonos.aspxhttp://advancedlifestylesolutions.com.au/Home_Automation_Melbourne_Blog/The_rooms_are_alive_with_the_sounds_of_Sonos.aspxThu, 31 Mar 2011 13:00:00 GMTThis article looks at the new technology available in LED lighting.

How convenient is car central locking? We can unlock the car from metres away and just open the door when we approach it. Why do we not demand the same convenience with the home? The technology has been available for many years with a range of keyless options.http://advancedlifestylesolutions.com.au/Home_Automation_Melbourne_Blog/Throw_away_those_keys_almost.aspxSimon Lakeyhttp://advancedlifestylesolutions.com.au/Home_Automation_Melbourne_Blog/Throw_away_those_keys_almost.aspxTue, 01 Mar 2011 23:44:35 GMTCheck out Advanced Lifestyle Solutions' installation of these colour changing LED lights to make a pool a real feature.
