In latest iPhone holiday ad "12 Apps of Christmas", Apple closes with "an app that can light up the tree". The app caused instant tingling in my geeky parts. It's called Schlage Link which is a free download in the App Store. This app controls several Schlage devices including the light module, entry door locks and in home video cameras.
The huge buzz killer is that your iPhone must be paired with a specific Z-Wave home automation module that also requires a $12.99 monthly service plan and purchasing the Schlage LiNK Starter Kit for $299.
Those Schlage nerds have created a real lock-down hostage program here in order to experience some comfort and joy from this little iPhone geek treat. Which makes it game over for me. (watch iPhone ad after break)
ot all this starter kit and subscription! As soon as somebody else comes up with that, these jokers will be out of business for sure!

I was wondering when i was watching the video of the iphone presentation there was this app that they showed were you can stretch the picture, make the face all deformed, and when you wanted to fix it you would have to shake the phone to get it back to normal? Does anyone know the name of this app?
Also i wanted to know what all new is included in the 2.0 update? besides the app icon?

Its a brilliant product i have come across. I realized that it is really difficult to concentrate on one when every brand is coming up with a new one almost every other day.

The point is that as Reginald noted above, you need a way to connect to *some* kind of home automation network (HAN) -- X-10, Insteon, Zigbee, or whatever. There are a number of HAN hardware interface products available with embedded Web servers, like the Smarthome Smartlinc Insteon Controller. There are also iPhone apps such as iLinc and Micasa that can control HAN interfaces connected to desktop PCs.

What a great idea, but surely something that just connects to your wirless network is possible! Not all this starter kit and subscription! As soon as somebody else comes up with that, these jokers will be out of business for sure!

There are other products that will allow you to do the same thing. The three main types are X10 (oldest controllers), Insteon and this ZWave listed above. Smarthome (http://www.smarthome.com/_/ProductResults.aspx?Ntt=iphone) has an iPhone/Touch interface to allow lots of things to be done to control stuff in your home. I'm not associated with Smarthome but have bought some things from them. Home automation stuff can be interesting. I'm VERY new at it so I can't answer a whole lot about it, but I liked the Insteon information and they have a box to tie it into the Mac or Windows and let the computer control things, and now have the ability for an iPhone/Touch to do the same.

Oh man, that stinks. The monthly fee seems completely unnecessary. Thanks for the info though.
