Control your house from anywhere.

One of the manufacturers (www.crestron.com) that I regulary work with makes equipment that allows you to automate your house. With their equipment you can control all sorts of devices such as your entertainment system, lights, security system, thermostat, and even your hot tub. Their equipment also has the ability to be accessed remotely through the Internet. But the really exciting news is that they recently released an app for the iPhone and iPod touch. So if you have their equipment integrated into your house, you can now monitor and control it from anywhere. Now if you forget to turn off the heater when you go out of town, you can just pull out your phone and turn it off. Or if your kids are at home watching TV instead of doing their homework, you can turn it off while you're at work. I think their equipment is quickly going from a want to a need for me. I don't care who you are, but having something like this is very cool.
