iPhone Home Automation Melbourne

Use your iPhone as a remote control for your home

Apple's iPhone is undoubtedly one of the most powerful mobile phones, with the iPod Touch the iPod de jour. Both owe those facts to their fantastic capabilities. FM Security is taking full advantage of those capabilities, applying them to bring out the best in your home.

Using FM Security's iPhone Home Automation Kits you're now able to create what we fondly dub an iHome where everything electric, from your lights to your electric blanket, can be remotely controlled.

How does it work?

FM Security's iPhone Home Automation Kits allow you to control anything electrical in up to 4 ways: on and off, and bright and dim (for lamps and lighting). You use your iPod touch or iPhone as a remote control, whether its within your own home over WiFi, or anywhere else over 3G.

The set up is fairly simple: you plug your existing appliance or light into a plug and play module, assign it an address, and enter that address into the provided PC software. It's then on your iPhone, allowing you full control by simply tapping your iPhone or iPod Touch's screen.

Using the provided software, you can also automate and schedule everything from your kettle, to the lights and lamps in your house.

What is in the starter kits?

Each kit is a little different. But you'll get the iPhone application, PC software, and various home automation components which may include light and lamp controllers. Best of all you get a system which can be fully expanded using any of our X10 home automation components.

Expanding Your 'iHome'

Once you're comfortable with the technology, you'll be able to expand your system right around your house. FM Security stock a full range of compatible add-ons including additional lighting, appliance, and security controls that are all based upon the same X10 technology.
