Vantage iPhone & iPad app
Utah-based Vantage has just introduced a new control app for the iPhone and iPad that allows homeowners to control everything from a home theater and lighting control system, to a security system and HVAC system.
With Wi-Fi and 3G wireless technologies, as well as an easy-to-use touchscreen interface many companies, including Vantage are introducing control apps for Apple devices.
Jan. 2011 was quite a month in the world of universal remote controls. Both Philips and Universal Electronics Inc. (UEI) announced that they were respectfully discontinuing their Pronto and Nevo univeral remote product lines. Undoubtedly, one of the reasons why these companies are leaving the remote category is the proliferation of remote control apps for Apple's iPad and iPhone products.
A good example of the growing array of control apps on the market can be found in Utah, where Orem-based Vantage just launched its new iPad and iPhone control apps. Vantage says the Apple products' inclusion of Wi-Fi and 3G support, along with their touchscreen design make them a logical choice to use as universal control interfaces, and that they can be used to control everything from a home's A/V and lighting systems, to a home's security and HVAC systems.
The iPhone and iPad apps work seamlessly with Vantage's Digital Music Manager music server to enable users to manage their music collections, which includes the ability to build queues and playlists, and the app is available in Apple's iTunes' App Store.
