I've been waiting for my estimote pre-order to arrive for some time for
exa=
ctly this purpose.  One of my frustrations with all current iOS based
contr=
ollers is their lack of positional awareness and hence the number of taps
r=
equired to get to the right controls is typically too high.  The good news

is that some of these sensors (estimote for example) can have their range
t=
uned so with some careful design and testing I anticipate very accurate
res=
ults across my house.

To that end, since moving to Indigo (thanks to Mark's great intro) I've
bee=
n working on a custom iOS app for my home which will use BLE to
automatical=
ly navigate to the correct views.  There are a couple of "virtual
sensors" =
about which enable you to do some testing if you have a spare iOS device
or=
two.  Moreover, since Indigo now provides me with a centralised model of t=
he house I can accurately depict the status of all aspects of the home at
a=
reasonable price point.

I would also agree that the next obvious step is appropriate statistical
an=
alysis of actions within the home to create a picture of common
actions/beh=
aviours.  Both for very accurate replay when the house is unoccupied but
al=
so to start to anticipate the occupants needs.  I was talking about this
wi=
th Mark Harrison a decade ago and I feel like I'm getting ever closer.
