Home Control

Home control via phones and smart devices has made home automation more accessible and affordable. Controlling your home through your iphone or ipad has enabled many consumers to add this cutting edge technology to their homes with the same excellent technology but at a fraction of the price.

With Apples recent release, the iPhone 4s we may be seeing an influx of home automation software developers creating content for more voice control of home control automation systems. The big update for ios5 was Siri, a voice recognition application that allows the user to command the phone to conduct most functions previously only accessible through touch screen activation.

Siri will be a key feature of all future iPad and iPhone releases and the voice control system will be a development we shall be keeping a close eye on as well as letting you know how Intelligent Interiors can help you make this part of your home automation system.

iPhone Control

It has been estimated that over 50 million iPhones have been sold since its initial release in late 2006. This made us think... ?Why can't home automation systems be controlled from these devices??

This concept would replace the requirement for unnecessary wall clutter, with a mobile device of equal functionality, so that music, lighting, TV and heating can all be controlled whilst still comfortably sitting on your sofa.

Simple operations such as changing the lights, the volume of the TV or your multi-room Hi-Fi can be controlled from the palm of your hand. Using a 3G connection you can even turn on the porch light, heating, and select music to play by the time you get home.

iPad Control

Take home control through an iPad. You can now use your iPad as a remote and home automation system control centre. The beautiful feel and excellent touch screen control of the iPad control works seamlessly with your home automation system through software such as Crestron Control App and Crestron Mobile or the Kaleidescape iPad control.

You can control multiple locations throughout your home, office or overseas holiday home from one place on one device. Obtain real time status updates including temperature and lighting levels.

Your iPad can work through 3G or through WiFi connect enabling you to connect and control at any point turning your iPad into a touch screen for your home entertainment, light control and climate control.
