Title: Old school
Product review: I'm the owner of a home-automation company in California. We do structured wiring, amongst other things. I purchased this book to see whether there might be some tips or techniques that my company could use to improve the quality of work we do. After receiving the book and reading it, I was very disappointed. The schematics and designs employed by the author are "old school." The equipment and products he promotes are also "old school." The chapter on lighting control is notably outdated, almost as aged as the chapter on security systems.There are some basic principles of low-voltage that a beginner can learn from this book, such as wiring topographies and some of the tools of the trade, but those who work with these things everyday will be sorely disappointed with this book.My advice is to stay away from this book and purchase soemthing more current. Smart Homes for Dummies is not a bad option.
