well since iv been using my ipad to control my tv im now wanting to use it to control my lights sockets ect. anyone on here have any experience with these systems?

im an electrician so altering the wiring isnt a problem just need to know what equipment i need

There's various automation systems available at cost of course that can be controlled directly by the iPad or iPhone.

 

Just google home works light control for one of them.

 

Not so sure on the expense of getting it though.

So have I got this right.....you are spendind nearly £200 just for starters, do you know how much electricity you can get for this much, absolutely years worth for low wattage items :tt2:

 

Get off your backside and switch them off :2guns:

yea - and while your at it swap all your TV's, DVD players, audio equipment etc for old units without remotes too! I would also suggest getting rid of your electric kettle & going back to one that you put on your hob that needs removing manually. Ditch the central heating with controller for some coal fires while your at it too. Much better :lol:

Hit the light switch with the ipad. Tadaa!
