similar to the concept I am using with Indigo (home automation software for mac). I load up a custom ajax page from the Indigo web server and I can control my entire house from a touchscreen/remote interface on the iPhone!

WOW. where you get the home software?

**ikon240** · 07-11-2007, 12:00 PM

Do you use it in your carputer? How do you provide the infrared light source?

why use infrared use the bluetooth that all wiimotes have and you are good. i have never used it on a mac, but the PC version is interesting to say the best.

A little OT, but I was getting some similar thoughts the other day when I saw the new open source OpenMoko phone.

This should be fun when the next version with wifi comes out
