Here’s another touch-free gadget to add to your touch-free arsenal, a touchless faucet adaptor. All you need to do is attach this infrared-based adaptor to your existing water faucet. Just place your hands near the gadget and the water comes on. Not much more to it. There is an override switch so you can turn on/off the faucet manually (but that’s so 2007).

No need to hire a plumber to have this installed either. But you will need to get a few AAA batteries.

Gimme!

This is exactly the type of product that you may have once seen at an EPCOT exhibit or a future-looking tech documentary, but the difference is this is real. NetLinc is an INSTEON Central Controller that allows you to schedule and control your INSTEON home automation network from the Internet, via a browser on a PC, your Web-accessible smartphone or PDA.

The main NetLinc controller simply plugs into your existing INSTEON network, and from there, you can configure it with your computer network to grant you control from outside your home via your broadband Internet connection. NetLinc even support IP-based cameras so you can view those cameras in real-time from wherever.

This is super-cool application for your iPhone or iPod Touch. If you want to see NetLinc in action, take a look at this video.

Gimme!

TiVo and Amazon are teaming to produce a product that lets you buy stuff you see on TV via your TiVo. Imagine watching a show and wondering if you can buy last season’s DVDs, or perhaps books and CDs being promoted. Well that may become a reality in time to come. Stay tuned.
