Whilst iPod and iPhone remote control applications are nothing new, you have to hand it to inventor Steve Moore who has developed what is termed as a low cost solution for those wishing to use their iPhone as a remote in the form of his AirRemote iPhone application which, apart from being capable of controlling your TV and associated AV equipments can also, with a little wizardry, be used to take control of your home – rendering your trusty iPhone as the centre of your home automation set-up.

Billed by Moore as ‘the greatest little TV remote you’ve ever used’ and capable of supporting the Kaleidescape media server, facilitating album/cover art on the iPhone by linking to the Web to bring you more artist/actor/director information, his AirRemote iPhone application utilises a communications box available from Global Cache – which will set you back anything from $100 to $150 for their latest GC-100-6 model – to reissue IP commands received from your iPhone courtesy of the AirRemote application as infrared commands allowing you to take control of AV devices or just about anything you wish, dependant on the required home automation set-up being in place (the application also enables control of AMX or Crestron automation system).

Steve Moore’s iPhone AirRemote application, which we don’t doubt will prove extremely popular (the very idea of opening and closing the curtains in our front room using the iPhone would, we are certain, keep us occupied for hours), will purportedly become available from July 11 for around $100 from the iPhone Application Store.
