Insteon Android App

So I decided to make a custom app for controlling my Insteon lights in my house with Google’s App Inventor for Android.

More details to come.  Here is an early screen shot:

I am planning on putting this in the Android Market as soon as they allow apps from App Inventor in.  I’ll try getting a beta out before then.  Check back soon.

It works by doing internet calls to the SmartLinc network via ethernet.  I’m planning on having it control my air conditioning so when I come close to my house, it automatically cools down the place.    Something with Google’s Latitude, most likely.

Updated to control my Thermostat modules:

Edit 12/8/2010:

I now have a few apps in the App Marketplace.  This one will probably go up sometime this weekend.  I have the temperature sensors working for thermostats, and full control of my lights.

Its on the market as a beta app now, download  Controid now!

I moved…

So I upgraded my WordPress to version 3.0.   Thought I’d write some sort of update.   I physically, finally moved myself into a nice place in North Hollywood, all by myself.   Very happy about it.   I have an office again, and remotely controlled dimmer switches!!

Furniture hunting sucks.
