How it works
Connect your switch

The Switch
Whatever your ability there is a way to control your smart phone using HouseMate.
Switch control

Other access methods
As well as using your phone’s touch screen the Apps can be controlled with other input devices such as AbleNet’s Blue2, our own Point-It! joysticks and even Eye-Tracking devices. In this case HouseMate acts as a hub for controlling the devices in your home.
