Lightswitch is an Home Automation Client for the iPhone/iPod/iPad and is a native iOS application that allows you to control your home automation devices anywhere in the world. Ever wondered if you accidentally left a light on? How about turn the outdoor floodlights on but didnt feel like walking back downstairs to turn them on? Now you can! All you need is some home automation hardware supported by a Lightswitch certified server application.
