Hey, all.
I've been fiddling around with hacking up Rover lately to support an iPhone- and iTouch-optimized homeseer UI. It's pretty dirty at the moment but stable enough where I'd like to get some feedback from people who have larger installations than I do, especially people with thermostats and non-standard devices being controlled by HS. If you'd like to take a whack at testing it, please drop me a PM.
Requirements are minimal -- Homeseer 2, Rover 2.5 installed. You'll need to be able to access homeseer via your iPhone/iTouch, either via WiFi or EDGE. You'll also need to know how to unzip files and manually move files around in Windows.
I'm attaching a couple of screenshots of the current UI (taken in OS X Safari, so they're a little wider than the actual iPhone viewport). In the latest iPhone software you can place bookmarks directly on your home screen, and this iPhone UI has quickly become my favorite way of controlling my house.
If there's enough interest, I plan on developing a web service backend for HS and creating a native UI for the iPhone to interface against it when the SDK is released in a few weeks.
Thanks,
-Tom
