Eco Factor: New system allows homeowners to save energy from their smartphones.
Control4 has unveiled a new energy management system, an application that turns smartphones into remote controls for its system and an app store, which they believe will have the same impact on home automation that iTunes had on music.
The smartphone app is available for users across all leading smartphone platforms, and it provides flexibility and choice for the growing market of home control customers. The application will also provide a more efficient way to control home energy consumption.
The applications are categorized into four main types, including Enhanced Home Control, Information, Social & Entertainment and User Interface Customization. The device, on the other hand, features a color monitor that provides tips on how to save energy, and identifies the devices that consume the most energy.
