Nokia N770, Great For Home Automation Control


Nokia N770 running HAI Web-Link II

I’m always looking for new ways to control my home automation system, this time it’s actually very economical. Buy.com is offering the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet for $140 and with this device, I can access my automation system via rdesktop (RDP or Remote Desktop) client or directly via HTTP (webpage). The device has an excellent screen and is a great size to carry around the house. The unit also runs Flash 6 so I can use it with my custom automation controller UI.

  • David,
    Good question. I haven't used the N800 yet, so I don't know how much better it is over the N770. If you find out more, please post here.

  • Here's the latest news:
    Nokia just added Skype, plus Flash 9 and 8GB memory card support. They also increased the battery life.

  • Very interesting... Does the Weblink-II software work as-is with the built-in browser on the 770, or did you have to modify anything? HAI says they only support Explorer.
    Thanks
