Review: It works. Easy to install. Great personal help from SMARTHOME. Fast delivery.
JOYCE — YPSILANTI, MI Date: 4/1/2010
Review: Works great and easy to install. I would change one thing in the design of future relays. There is a led light on the switch that lights up when the switch is off and the led goes off when the switch is on. I would reverse this action on future designs.
KEVIN — PINE BUSH, NY Date: 1/8/2010
Review: Great product – Happy to see Toggle switches staying around!

Help a man out!
Like many people in the security blogger community, Tyler Reguly pays for his blog and other community efforts out of his own pocket. For the most part, that’s not a big issue, since there are many options for blogs that are free or cheap. But Tyler does more than just blog, he also hosts Damn Vulnerable Linux on his servers. Again, usually not a problem, except he got SlashDotted and now has a bill of several thousand dollars to pay! You can read the whole story and help by donating a few dollars to his cause. I’ve had a few brushes with the same experience myself, so I can fully understand the panic he’s probably going through. And on the off chance that he get’s more than the bill costs, he’ll be donating the overage to Hackers for Charity.
