Control your HAI hardware with an iPhone: H@me

[electron]

One of the interesting benefits from the new iPhone/Apps store launch is that it will make a great launchpad for iPhone based home automation interfaces. Some companies have announced that they are actively working on an iPhone interface, while others are still planning. It looks like there are some individuals working on this as well, with H@me being one of the first to support a popular controller. The application is also free.



Some of the features include:

• Native iphone application
• Control and view lights by group (all rooms, single room or individual light)
• Lighting controls (On/Off, levels)
• Thermostat control (heat and cool set points, fan settings, heat/cool/off modes)
• Temperature and humidity sensors
• Buttons (programmed macros)
• Multi room audio controls (Russound and Nuvo)
• Security system (arming control, zone status)
• Web camera streaming

If you have an iPhone, and the HAI Omni/Lumina controller, give it a try, and post some feedback please.

The website for "Home" does not provide a download link, nor could I find this application on the iTunes app site!

I am wondering if Apple still has to approve the application. I have heard it can take several days.

I saw it there yesterday (on iTunes app store). Not sure what category it was binned under.

I tried again and found it by searching for "Home" on the apps page. I did not download it however because I do not use HAI.
