Lightswitch is a Google Android client used to connect to a Lightswitch enabled server such as minizee, HomePlanner, JB Lightmanager Pro, HomeDaemon, Heyu, ThinkingHome, zVirtualScenes, or Zwave Commander. Control your home automation devices without the need for "line-of-sight" that traditional home automation remotes need.

Ever forget to turn your lights off when you are away from home? How about turn the outdoor floodlights on but didn't feel like walking back downstairs to turn them on? Now you can! All you need is Lightswitch certified server and the supporting home automation hardware. Lightswitch consists of two pieces...a server piece which runs in your house and the client piece which runs on your Android.

The purpose of this program is simple: to allow control of your home automation devices from your Android with the touch of a finger.
