What do you think about this app?

I've attached a file for the Airpads that can't reach the market.

Ok... the "demo" is a free download. How much does this cost?

The app is currently listed at $1.99 on Google Play, Amazon, & Slide Me.

Thank You!

I am currently using BVC for voice control of my setup. I've also heard/read about the PocketAudio Microphone which would allow me to speak directly to my Home Automation PC using the tablet as a microphone (and use my BVC).

Melloware is well known and I am sure this is good product. I feel confident that these new(er) software products along with cheap Android tablets will be a bonus for our HA setups. Voice Control, touchscreen(s), voice alerts (talking home), These are the things HA dreams are made of.

I just downloaded Pocket Audio. It works OK with BVC. I also use Virtual Audio Cable, so I can still use my Mic and Pocket Audio at the same time.

I am confused. You mentioned Pocket Audio..... but then you added a link for X10 Voice Commander (a different app). It is the Pocket Audio that your using to talk to your BVC.... right?

I use both. X10 Voice commander talks to X10. Pocket audio talks to BVC.

Thank you for sharing these with us!

I downloaded the trial version of X10 Voice Commander. It didn't seem to understand me as well as I had hoped/expected. This surprised me as the google voice on my droid tablet works well for Internet searches. I will keep trying/testing. The tablet itself is a fine piece of automation. Always ready in a flash using no measureable amount of electricity. Intergrating it with my X10 will be frosting on the cake.

It's working great on my Droid X. I love pulling up to my driveway after work and say "gate open" and the gate opens.
Is your tablet the Airpad? Just wondering how it runs, screen size and all that, on the Airpad. Cause I just might buy one.

Attached is a Android apk of a little app I just whipped up.

It has a box for a cam view, and a button for the X10 device you want to control.

A visual status of your device being turned on.  

It uses the same server as the X-10 Voice Commander.

I added it to Google Play.
