Schneider Electric releases iPhone app for home energy control

If your home or business uses the Wiser home controller technology from Schneider Electric, there's now an iPhone app you can use do mess around with things from a remote location.

Wiser works with the C-Bus home automation technology that is embedded into certain lighting and heating, air-conditioning and ventilation (HVAC) systems, or even home irrigation systems. The free download works with any aspect of the Wiser system: you can turn off lights remotely, adjust the thermostat settings, and so on. Of course, this all moot if you don't have the Wiser system in the first place.
