chrisalbrecht Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 I would like to see a new module for the ISY that would allow it to obtain GPS/location information from Google Lattitude (which can be updated using a GPS smartphone) to trigger programs and scenes. You could automatically lower thermostat, turn off lights or devices with phantom loads when away from the house.. as well as raise thermostat or automatically turn on outside lights when returning to home. It appears that someone is playing with this idea with Homeseer. http://board.homeseer.com/showthread.php?t=143249 I'm new to the universal devices/ISY/home automation scene, so I'm not sure how to get this rolling. Any thoughts/ideas/advice would be greatly appreciated! Cheers, Chris
jim3342 Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 Hi Chris, I think that is a great idea and even more so because I am in the middle of testing out our Android service. We can include this as part of our portal service (check-it.ca) and have a certain scene activated when the phone is located 'x' miles from the home and even another scene when detected close to home again. Great idea!
