Native iPhone Application Provides Full 2-Way Home Control

Savant Systems LLC, having lead the convergence of an open architecture platform to integrate automation and control, A/V switching, and general purpose computers, has announced the introduction of a downloadable application for Apple’s iPod and iPod touch that runs natively on either device in order to provide 2-way control of any home system connected to one of Savant’s innovative ROSIE automation systems.
“Our application effectively leverages all the power of Apple’s amazing mobile computing platform, enabling homeowners with a ROSIE control system to enjoy unprecedented levels of convenience and efficiency added to their daily lives,” stated Savant president Jim Carroll. Savant’s new application features intelligent 2-way communication from feedback-capable systems in the home, such as lighting, HVAC, security cameras and supported audio/video equipment. The application also incorporates the “gesture” control and “tilt” sensors found on both Apple devices.
Savant’s new application has been engineered to provide complete control over the ROSIE On-Screen Display (OSD), which uses HD graphics to provide intuitive control of systems throughout the home. The application also includes a section dedicated to “themed interfaces” that can be customized by an authorized Savant dealer using RacePoint Blueprint software and a compatible ROSIE system on the network. “We wanted to give our customers the ultimate 2-way application to control their homes from the iPhone or iPod touch and make it easily downloadable for them from the iPhone App Store,” concluded Carroll.
Savant’s mobile device application is based on the same foundation as its integrated touch panel solutions, delivering the same graphically rich look and feel to the end user, who is assured of having a familiar and comfortable experience controlling their home remotely. The mobile applications are configured using RacePoint Blueprint with no further development required on the part of the dealer or installer. As part of its on going commitment to revolutionize home automation, Savant is offering this next-generation technology on the Apple iPhone™, Nokia N810 Internet Tablet, and The Samsung Q1 Ultra-mobile PC
