Take control with DOVADO Home Automation!


  • Ever left home thinking that maybe you should have left the lights on?

  • Already in bed and forgot to switch off all the lights downstairs?

  • Does your entire neighborhood know what time your lights go on when you're away on holiday?

  • Need to turn on your computer before reaching it?

  • How about arriving home to a nice hot cup of coffee after spending an hour or more in terrible traffic?

  • Does your webcam/server crash whenever you're out of town?

    Folks, it's official: Those days are over!

    Now you can combine your DOVADO UMR with a Telldus TellStick or a Gembird SilverShield Power Manager and you've got yourself a really nifty home-automation solution!

    With this combination, you'll be able to remotely control all the lights and appliances in your home by sending an SMS from your mobile phone!

    With the TellStick, you'll have the extra benefit of wirelessly controlling all the appliances throughout your home. In order to control an appliance's power switching capability, you will need to have a compatible wireless receiver plugged into the wall-socket which will be controlled by the TellStickTM.

    See the following video demonstration of how this is done:

    Available Control Methods

    SMS Remote Control
    If your SIM card and 3G USB modem support SMS in the DOVADO UMR, then you'll be able to employ this feature to remotely power appliances on and off from your mobile phone. A short text command can be sent from your phone to administer this task instantly. You can control a single receiver or all, if you like.

    A few examples of short text commands are:

    "Lamp1 on" and "Lamp1 off": where "Lamp1" is a configurable alias name of a receiver that can be turned on or off by SMS.

    "All on" and "All off" : where "All" represents all the units on the alias list of configured wireless receivers.

    HTTP (Web) Control
    If you're running a Dynamic DNS service/static IP address on your DOVADO UMR, you can access it from outside your network, and take manual control over the TellStick Home Automation user interface.

    Scheduling
    Allows you to schedule in events to power on/off individual/all devices around the home. Besides applying general daily rules, it also allows you to create specific one-time events. The automation scheduler can also work according to daily times of sunrise and sunset. This feature requires you enter your GPS co-ordinates or use a compatible GPS USB dongle with your UMR.


    API (Application Programmable Interface):
    example: DovTelCon, the DOVADO TellStick Controller!
