iControl, an interactive platform used for security/home automation by traditional security companies like ADT and the new cable entrants like Comcast, got a nice mention on the front page of the New York Times travel section yesterday.
The story, about how Silicon Valley entrepreneurs' make travel paperless and stress-free, talks about Tim Ferris (author of The Four-Hour Work Week and other books in an updated self-help genre) has many gadgets that help him when he's traveling, including iControl software—which keeps him in touch with his home.
From the story: “One of the world's largest guarding companies When he's on the road Mr. Ferriss uses iControl software, which allows him to receive e-mails with video clips from infrared cameras in his house and to receive text alerts on his phone about who's going in and out of his home.”
Is Tim's security system provided by a traditional provider or a cableco? I'm sure iControl wouldn't disclose the answer to that question.
