Hi  Michael

I have just had a programmable thermostat installed. I did a lot of
experimenting with hte iphone apps available and found the best one to be
from Inspire Home Automation. I found the BG app not to be accessible for
turning up and down the temperature and setting the temp for the programs
were also if I remember correctly was also not accessible. I tried Owl
Intuition, the app did not have a demo mode and there seemed to be no way to
contact them via telephone on their web site. I thin I tried a couple more
apps with little success, the Solus stat is not at all accssible, there is
no demo mode but contacting the manufacturers they confirmed that their app
is not accessible using voiceover.

So the one I went for was the Inspire Home Automation stat. This is a wired
thermostat that will work any boiler that uses a two wire configuration, a
wireless model is under development to be launched later this year. The app
is fully accessble, but saying that the temperature controls are a little
awquard, I have been in contact with the firm and they  are going to amend
the app to make it fully accessible. The web site does not have standard
elements and is quite difficult to access using jaws, but almost alll of the
account details can be done via the iphone app, just a few items need to be
done on the web site, and thisn I found not to be so difficult.

Sorry if I've droned on, and here is the web site for you to look over, I
would suggest that if you have any concerns or questions you contact the
support number, they are very obliging.
