Belkin Wemo.

SOME LAST MINUTE GIFTS...I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF GADGETS YOU MIGHT WANT TO TRY IN YOUR DAILY DOT COM. < It's nicknamed the iPhone home remote.. A device no bigger than my hand that plugs into the wall so you can turn off your home electronics no matter where you are. Think of it as a home automation system --you know --linking up lights, heat, door locks, and other systems with computerized controls. But instead of costing thousands of dollars the WeMo runs around fifty bucks. It runs on your iPhone and WiFi connection and is controlled by an app on your smartphone or tablet. We pulled in this curling iron to give the device a try. Set up was rather simple - after you plug it in you'll be asked to set up the WeMo network...from there, launch the app, and plug in the device you want to control. You can then tell the WeMo when you want your device to come on ...and when to turn off. As long as you have an internet connection you've got control at your fingertips. So if you left the house in a hurry and aren't sure if you turned off the heater or in this case the curling irons, you can turn it off when you get to work or even from a plane. The WeMo works with just about any of your home electronics - like an iron, fan, lamp, coffee pot, television, or heater. You can control as much or as little of your house as you'd like --depending on how many WeMo's you have in your home. THERE'S ALSO A MOTION SENSOR FOR THE WEMO...IT'LL COST YOUR ABOUT A THERE'S ALSO A MOTION SENSOR FOR THE WEMO...IT'LL COST YOUR ABOUT A HUNDRED BUCKS. SO WOULD YOU USE IT?
