With the advent of tablet PC technology, such as the iPad, it has never been easier or cheaper to control the homes electronics from lighting to heating, security to music, you can now roam your home in freedom using your Tablet PC as a mobile touchscreen.

For years there has been a requirment for home automation systems to use in-wall keypads to allow for complete control over lighting scenes and music libraries etc. But now simple light switches and Tablet PC's can be used keeping cost down and allowing for flexibility while still offering the same level of controls.

An Italian lighting company called Vitrum have released a very stylish range of lighting keypads designed to replace single and double lights switches, they come in a wide range of glass finishes, and can be easily integrated with an affordable home control system to give you easy and inexpensive lighting control, again all easily controlled by your tablet.
