Default remote home control

We've installed Lowes' Iris home automation and security in our home. It is a build-it-yourself-as you go system with wireless modules you add yourself for relatively low cost and all accessible over the web. The web service is free unless you want the premium services for $10/mo, but free would work for most people. It includes remote (over the web with phone app) controlled thermostats, cameras, motion detectors, window/door alarms, lighting, switches, outlets, water shut offs, sprinkler system, garage door openers, door locks, and much more. I've had it for over two years and it's been great (I have 32 devices). They are just releasing version 2.0 of their web interface this week, so make sure you get the newer model.
