Its unfortunate that the devices listed in the article don't appear to 
be available in Australia yet.



As far as your house goes, there's nothing like having an efficient 
household I reckon .

leave the house beyond a radius that I set it alerts me if the heating is on or 
if the heating is off when I re-enter that zone (anything from a few hundred 
yards to several miles).

I bought a bunch of other Hive accessories including an electric plug, a motion 
sensor and a door sensor. The plug allows me to remotely turn on and off any 
attached appliance manually or on a schedule, and the latter give me peace of 
mind when I'm out. I can even tell when my wife has returned from work when I 
am out.

Sadly, I don't think the system works with the homekit yet so can't be 
controlled by Siri but the Hive app is fully accessible. Its marvellous and I'm 
certainly interested to know what else might be in the pipeline.

What can SIRI do for you in your home? The article linked to here provides some 
answers plus recommending some hardware devices to get you started.

I�m going to take a look on Google shortly to see exactly what�s available in 
Australia - if anything -.
