MiOS Home Control
Ever dreamt of controlling your home?
What you need is a home control gateway that allows you to control appliances around your home.
We have teamed up with the people at MiOS to integrate SQ Remote into their home control systems, meaning that you can control more than just your TV and DVD player, but also your lights, heating, door locks and much, much more.
Take a look at what you can control and what you need...

Control Gateway
First you need a control gateway that can speak to the equipment that you want to control.
MiOS control gateways allow you to control Z-Wave, X-10, and Insteon based home control equipment as well as IP based network devices.
You can get Vera, a dedicated hardware system from MiCasaVerde.com
Other MiOS based control systems are expected to be released soon.

Cameras

Many of these items can be simply plugged between the wall socket and the device you want to control, others need a little more installation.

Scenes
Lighting for activities:
- reading
- watch a movie
- go to bed
- entertain guestsWake up the home:
- alarm off
- lights on
Lock up and shut down:
- lock doors
- alarm on
- lights and appliances off
Scenes are combinations of control instructions that you start with a single control command.
One tap of a control in SQ Remote and you can wake up or shut down your house.
You can also set scenes to start based on an event such as a sensor being triggered.
Or they can also be triggered at a specified time.
Scenes are what makes home automation come alive, and they can help you reduce your energy costs and improve your home security.

SQ Remote and MiOS
SQ Remote is fully integrated into the MiOS system.
Control nearly all MiOS controllable equipment directly from your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad.
Control individual pieces of equipment and launch scenes from wherever you are over the cellular data network (iPhone and iPad 3G only).
Build your own "Home Status Dashboards"
SQ Remote HD gives you full access to all control types and all MiOS functionality. At $9.99 the cost of SQ Remote is about the same as a couple of coffee's at Starbucks. That's all it costs to get full control of your MiOS system on your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch.
