Honeywell recently launched a free application for iPhone that plugs into their Total Connect home security system, allowing you to arm and disable, check security camera stills (video coming soon), receive SMS alerts, and switch lights at a guarded area from your mobile. The app, My Keypad, was originally available on BlackBerry and Java-enabled phones, and was made to extend remote security system access beyond the web browser. This sounds like a great service, especially for small-to-medium business owners who want to keep an eye on their operations while away. For more info on My Keypad for iPhone, hit up Honeywell.
