- Televisions
- Satellite or cable box receiver
- DVD players
- Surround sound receivers
- HVAC thermostats
- Lighting control systems

- and more!
In 2007 recognizing the evolution of Personal Area Networks (PAN) and it’s far reaching benefits to individuals; eLifespaces began R&D efforts into the development of these new products and devices. Having decades of experience in the audio visual industry, eLifespaces was uniquely qualified for this endeavor.
Over the past two years, a multitude of electronic manufacturers have been modifying their products to integrate with iPods and other PAN devices. Although these product modifications have taken on a more physical element, eLifespaces has captured the essence of these PAN devices by maintaining their mobile nature and allowing you to control the world around you!
The eController allows remote control of hardware or software capable of TCP/IP and UDP communications directly from your iPhone or iPod Touch.
Graphical User Interface
How it works… utilizing a “black box” sold separately by eLifespaces, GlobalCache, or a system controller (AMX, Crestron, Vantage, etc.) unit, your iPhone or iPod Touch will act as your personal remote control. Sending codes over the WiFi in your home or office, eController transmits instructions to the system controller to execute your commands — a stylish (and inexpensive) alternative to other touchpanels.
The free starter App is provided to allow you see the application on your iPhone or iPod Touch. This App is supplied with traditional GUI (graphic user interface) templates which will later enable you to get a jump start using your eController. As you explore and expand the functions of your eController, have fun and use the guiDesigner to create more of your own GUI masterpieces!

Don’t have anything to control, yet. Need to get out of college, get a job (if I can find one), go into debt, and get these things I need to control. Gotta make those grades!
