The Most Popular DSI Audio Video Blog Articles of 2011 - Part 2
Thought I'd sneak in just one more post in 2011 featuring the most popular blog topics of the year. Three of these posts are interior design related; it is nice to know that so many of our readers are enjoying posts that deal with aesthetics. Let's hope 2012 brings with it an improving economy and even more home entertainment innovations.

One of our favorite product lines is the flush mounting systems by TRUFIG. TRUFIG products are a hit among architects, interior designers, and of course, our clients. TRUFIG has moved beyond their initial product offerings of making common "wall acne" products nearly visually disappear (electrical outlets, light switches/dimmers, volume controls, etc.) to larger items such as the flush-mount iPad system highlighted in this post. Since the iPad is increasingly being used as a home automation touchscreen, you might as well have it look good on your wall.

Another TRUFIG product line makes it to the Best of 2011 list as gauged by reader popularity. Finally, HVAC registers that aren't butt ugly. HVAC registers are one of those things that we've learned to visually accept; they don't look nice, but we need them. Along comes TRUFIG with a fresh set of eyes and decides to make them look a lot better.
There are several sizes available now, with more being developed. TRUFIG can also make custom HVAC registers in different sizes and styles for unique or out of the ordinary projects. Call us to find out more: (866)692-8489.
This topic proved to be very popular...the iPad is a hugely popular device and all of our clients want their iPads to control their home automation systems, and we are happy to do so. The iPad is a fine touchscreen, but there are some things you should be aware of, especially if you plan on using touchscreens (without any 'hard' buttons) as your only remote control, especially for TV control, home theaters, and media rooms.
Lastly, 2011 saw the launch of our most recent whitepaper, "The Top 8 Must Know Home Automation Tips". If you, your friend, or y
our client is building or remodeling a home, this is a must-read. To see 4 more popular blog topics of 21011, see part I of this blog, posted on Wednesday > Most Popular DSI Blog Articles - Part I
Over and out for 2011, let's make 2012 the best it can be, and stay engaged!
