After Promixis and its Promixis Girder we present a new program allowing iPhone users to control their homes. Lagotek in cooperation with Ikanos Consulting Go Gadgets™ technology created “HIP Modes” Sideshow home control gadget working on iPhone and iPod touch.

Both companies have managed to harness Vista Sideshow’s technologies for home automation use. Windows SideShow is a technology built into Windows Vista that makes it possible to use small software applications, called gadgets, on small-screen connected devices such as remote controls, fridge magnets and secondary displays on laptops.

Go Gadgets™ for iPhone and iPod touch is a web application which, when installed on Windows Vista, turns an iPod touch or iPhone into a Windows SideShow-capable device. Thanks to HIP Modes SideShow home control gadget iPhone and iPod-touch users can control lights, temperature, music, audio/video devices and the security system of their automated home over WiFi and GPRS/EDGE.

According to the press release, the official presentation of this software is going to take place at this year’s International CES, January 7-10, Las Vegas, Nev. (CES South Hall 1, booth #20419).

Wow. That's a lot of features. More than I ever thought possible. Wasn't it just not too long ago when this was all just a dream? We've only ever seen this type of thing in movies. Personally, I'm not a techie person. It makes me wonder how many people would actually take the time to sync their iPhone with their home.

I completely agree:) I grew up watching scifi movies with cool gadgets that can do anything. iPhone seems to be a sufficient platform for that -- if only it was also open source we woyuld've seen even more neat uses for it:)
