Smart Home App

Have you ever been in a situation where you leave the house and don’t remember if you forgot to turn off the light or the oven? Or have you ever been home and wished you could turn on the heat without having to interrupt the movie you are watching? With HomeControl these things will be possible.

Our app serves as a remote control panel for your house and you can change the settings anytime to fit your needs. We are considering a future of smart homes where appliances are connected to each other. Your lights and oven will turn off when you are not in the house or not using them. However sometimes smart appliances will not behave as you like in a certain situation and it is the role of the house owner to control the house and make sure everything is working as expected. Our app will tell you which lights are on, and with a simple click of a button you can turn them off. You can also control the temperature or other settings of any appliances you connect to our app. Even in a smart home environment, you have to be the boss.
