If you are a control freak and want to check up on things at home when you're away (let's say you suspect your wife or girlfriend is having an affair), you need a powerful system that you can access anywhere you are.

Hawking Technologies' HomeRemote is exactly what you need. As the press release informs, the HomeRemote is an affordable, easy-to-use system that lets users control their household appliances and lighting both from within their homes and from anywhere in the world via a standard Internet web browser or mobile phone.

As you can see, spying on your unfaithful wife is just one of the many things the HomeRemote is able to do. The HomeRemote system utilizes Z-wave technology that enables compatibility with lighting and climate controls, video cameras for monitoring and security, garage door openers, and many others.

Apparently, the HomeRemote can also be used as an alarm system for your house. Just add some motion detectors and sensors to your home automation systems and you'll be notified via email or cell phone when the devices are triggered.

Here's a list of all the features:

- Control your home and view live video remotely using your internet enabled cell phone or web browser - Customize the HomeRemote interface to match the exact layout of your home - Select custom names for your rooms and devices - Link multiple lights and appliances to a single module such as a light switch using the Device Linking feature - Set timers and schedule to automatically turn devices on or off - Easily create "Scenes" for the control of multiple devices with one click (i.e. all lights) - Secure your home with automated text message alerts and Email notifications - Keep track of all recent activity in your home - Setup a state-of-the-art Home Automation system for a fraction of the cost of other dealer installed systems

Available from July 15, 2007, the HomeRemote Gateway plus Remote Control has a MSRP of $230 and the HomeRemote Wireless Video Camera has a MSRP of $180.
