**BETA**
A convenient mobile interface for the self-installed AlertMe home monitoring system. Check up on the state of your home at a glance, and remotely control smart-plugs or arm/disarm the hub.

Yes, this is open sourced here: http://code.google.com/p/alertme-for-android/

Your AlertMe details are stored in your phone for convenient access - this app does not communicate with anything else other than the AlertMe API.

Please note that AlertMe limits the API use to something like 1k function calls, so there is a simple caching mechanism to help not reach that.

The main aim for this app is to perform a subset of the functions of the original 'Classic' web interface, presented in an easier mobile form. The roadmap is to integrate the 'eco/energy' aspects eventually.

** KNOWN ISSUES **
A user has reported an issue with non alphanumeric characters for the username/password - this is still being investigated (time of writing: 20121214, issue raised: 20121202)

** UPDATES TO COME **

    This app although tiny probably took a great deal of effort. The creator, Kat although we've never met is a really nice person and deserves a load of credit for her creation. AlertMe, take note. This should be an official app if the start of one.
