Probably for the reason that you do something because it can be done,
not because of doing something about it.
Have you ever watched Big Bang Theory? <smile>.

Neil,
Why the heck would some one who was visiting the UK want to turn on their
coffee machine in Canada when they could not drink it unless he/she wanted to
do it for their loved one?

Jonathan,
I was with a blind chap the other day who turned on his coffee machine whilst
in my sitting room. Bearing in mind I lie in the UK, and his coffee machine was
in California USA this was impressive.
I will check with him, but, I believe from what he was saying that it was
certainly usable.

What a great thread. I knew someone who had tried WeMo some time back who said
the app had significant accessibility issues. This info is not particularly
current by app standards, so it would be great to hear from anyone who's had a
play recently.

When I talked to Verizon TechSupport last weekend, the representative asked if
I’d heard about WeMo.
I hadn’t. It’s a system by Belkin which is driven by an app. I have no idea if
it’s accessible or anything else.
Here’s the link to the app:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wemo/id511376996?mt=8
And, here’s the itunes description:
Description
App controls the WeMo Switch and WeMo Motion.
The iPhone home remote. Control stuff in your home – from anywhere.
Introducing WeMo.
Belkin’s new WeMo system is a family of simple, ingenious products that use
your iPhone and your home Wi-Fi® network to connect you to the things and
people you love. WeMo is your home at your fingertips.
WeMo can control just about anything.
With WeMo you can turn on a light from another room, or turn it off from across
town. You can put your home on a schedule—living room lights go on in the
evening, kids’ TV goes off at bedtime. You can check to make sure you turned
the iron off, after you’ve already left. WeMo Switch is the iPhone home remote.
The Complete WeMo System.
The WeMo App runs on your iPhone and controls any electronic device you plug
into a WeMo Switch—if you can plug it in, you can turn it on or off with WeMo.
And WeMo Motion lets you control the devices when motion is detected. Have the
floor lamp go on when you enter the living room, and turn off when you leave.
WeMo Switch and WeMo Motion are available at major retailers.
The WeMo family of products is great at automating repetitive tasks, and at
allowing you to control your household in ways you’d never thought possible.
The beauty of WeMo is it’s completely modular. You can control as much or as
little of your home as you like. Control one light, one room, or the whole
house. There’s no limit to what WeMo can do. If you can think of it, you can
probably do it with WeMo. WeMo is your home at your fingertips.

Hi all,
Has anyone explored controlling lights & appliances with their iDevices?
At first, I went searching for the old-fashion plug-in light timers, but then I
got curious about this.
If anyone has direct experience with apps/products, please share your findings
here.
Thank you,
Traci
