OnAlert and iPhone

[Melloware]

Tuiceman,

I was hoping you could help answer a question one of my users had.   He wants to know if he needs the OnAlert plugin for ActiveHome to be able to control his security devices from my X10 Commander IPhone/iPod Touch application?   I think the answer is YES since the ONAlert plugin is what allows you to map those security devices to normal X10 Housecodes correct?   I am asking because I don't own OnAlert and don't know enough about it!

Thanks,

     Mello

The answer is YES, if you want to control security devices"
Yet, what devices thou...?

It'd be nice to see your x10 commander showing the security devices status, such as: window/door: open/close.

Thanks,
P.L

It would be great to have  devices status. Maybe have a red dot meaning devices is open green dot saying its closed or something like that.
