Control Your Home Applicance by Mobile Phone with Home Control Centre

Nokia will be releasing its new model mobile by next year to control the home products. This mobile is called Home Control Center mobile and it will be used for switching off/on lights, fans, and other consumer electronic appliances with your Internet ready Smart phone. It is the stuff of science fiction: house lights, ovens, televisions and even security systems that can all be remotely operated and controlled at the touch of a button. A new type of smart technology from mobile phone maker Nokia looks set to turn that fantasy into reality.This model mobile will bring a new era of smart home networking solutions, security and energy management systems. As this is an open platform it will allow the third party developers to build their own “plug and play” services and solutions.This mobile will be come out with wireless gateway device with optional GSM/GPRS module which will be integrated in a home network of Z-Wave and Zigbee complaint devices.

The Nokia Home Control Center is an intelligent platform where users can consolidate their smart home features and control their intelligent appliances using their mobile phone. This Nokia platform allows third parties to integrate their own smart home solutions and services for use in mobile devices or PCs and control all compatible devices in their home either locally or remotely. When these Nokia services are fully integrated, end users will enjoy a so called real “Smart Home” that incorporates a communications network connecting key electrical appliances and services, and is remotely controlled, monitored or accessed just with a small phone. The system can program thermostats, run energy saving washing machines, close the self adjusting curtains, switch off the kitchen light, turn on the 52”inch TV, etc using their tiny mobile device. Doesn’t it sound amazing?

The Nokia Home Control Center will be demonstrated at the Nokia World event in Barcelona, Spain, on December 2-3, 2008 and is expected to become commercially available by the end of 2009.
