Title: Home automation app for the android phone or tablet
Post by: paizano1 on May 25, 2010, 09:05:18 PM
I have seen posts about people that have the iphone and have an app that can control x-10.  I was wondering if anyone has come across an app for the android phones or tablets.  Also would be interested in hearing about what can and cannot be controlled with the iphone app or the app for the android.

I've been using this for several months and works like a charm. 

Here's a link to an earlier discussion on the forum....

The following link is for the iPhone app.  I've inquired to the developer if he might port this to Android.  Haven't seen anything there, but this would be a nice app to have.

hey thanks for the links to this site, have tried to download the programs.  I dont understand enough about the settings needed for the phone program.  It asks name, host and port and password.  Not good enough with the computer to understand how to set all this information up and where to find it, also dont understand how to set my server client program up either.

If this is something that you think you could help me with please do. I only ask because it seems as though you have been using this for sometime and its working for you

Thank you in advance for your help.
