iPad app???

[sorka]

So I've got this new ipad sitting in my living room. It would be really cool if I could have an app that could be used to control my insteon lighting with a graphical layout of my house and all of the lighting controls where the lights are in each room.

Hi Sorka,

 

Have you looked at our 3rd party section of the forum:

There are at least 3 native iPhone/iPod applications that will work with iPad as well.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Currently, the software that offers house graphics uses a desktop computer to set up and configure layout and control locations. Take a look at Indigo Touch or HSTouchPad on the iTunes Store for examples. HomeSeer offers a plug-in to work with the ISY, but it would require leaving a PC running HomeSeer running 7/24.

 

Since the ISY is itself a webserver, another option is to simply code your own web page with control links embedded. Take a look at TouchSwitch for an example.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll start checking them out.

 

I actually do run home seer 24/7 as I used it to integrate my insteon, alarm system, and video surveillance system together.

 

I'd prefer to an app that talks directly to the ISY as I found HS to lag sometimes. Going directly to the ISY would have the snappiest response vs going through HS and then to the ISY.
