Uses for an iPod Touch Around the House

Here are two:

Controlling our Home Automation Setup. Our setup uses Indigo from Perceptive Automation tied to an Insteon system through the house. The control panel for iPhone is through a hack from their forums. The master computer for this is embedded in the wall in our living room with a 15″ wall mounted touch-screen acting as the controller.

And controlling our Denon 3808CI from its included web-server. I just made an iPhone ready web app in Dashcode to scale it properly using an iframe.

The next step: Web based iPhone Sonos controller!

    Very nice. I was considering setting something like this after I fell in love with the Apple Remote app combined with my Airport Expresses and AppleTV.
