Haven’t you ever wished that you had a little more control over your home appliances? How about having a way to start up your vehicle whilst you are still eating your breakfast? Connected homes are now something that is becoming more common than ever before, and they really offer some cool features. Something as awesome as being able to get your morning cup of coffee before you even crawl away from your cosy bed is now available to the likes of you and me. So here are a trio of iOS Smartphone Apps that can offer a little slice of technology heaven for those of us who yearn for a bit more control in our lives – Enjoy!

Viper SmartStart – Free

This App will run on your iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad and it will require iOS 4.3 or later for smooth running. Have you ever wished for another ten minutes in bed and looked out to see that your poor car is frozen solid? It can take at least 15 minutes of ice scraping to get the darn windscreen usable for our daily commute. Well, Viper SmartStart has the solution that will give you those extra precious moments on the cold mornings we hate so much. Once you’ve downloaded and set up your Viper SmartStart module in your vehicle, you can start the engine from almost anywhere you happen to be. You can also locate your car, arm and disarm the alarm and get a neat text notification when some scumbag messes with your ride. We love this application and are equally impressed that it can also be tweaked to control your entire home security system.
