We previously covered a fairly cool homebrew hack that allowed the entire house to be toggled with an application on Windows Phone. The application never reached the marketplace. But fear not, we have been tipped about upcoming application that will eventually be available in the marketplace. Home Control is an unofficial Switch King client for Windows Phone. Switch King has official clients for both Android and iOS. Now to use the Windows Phone application you’d require Switch King Server and Telldus Live service up and running as a pre requisite.
Here’s the official translated version of Home Control:
“Home Control acts as a client, or remote control for your Switch King-installation, whether you have a local installation on your PC / server, or if you use Switch King Live service. Turn on / off electric equipment, fog lights and see upcoming scheduled activities”
The application is under development and will be available “in early 2012″. Home Control will be available in both paid and free version. Free version will limit your “sorcery” to 5 devices only. Hit the source link to read more about the project. But first, here’s the application in action:

Update: The application is now available in the marketplace. As we noted before, trial version of the application gives you access to control 5 devices and to control more than 5 devices, you need to purchase the application. Marketplace description below:
“Manage your Switch King Server from your phone. Turn devices on or off, dim the lights, view upcoming device events and change the scenario for your system.”
