Yes, of course it's possible. I'm not sure exactly why there isn't any but the fact that the website works well for most of anything probably has something to do with the fact that a separate application isn't required. With that said, you can make your own if you wish using something like OpenRemote. It's quite easy and works well. I made a simple iPhone apps last week using OpenRemote in a few hours of tinkering with it and following instructions.

I'm surprised as well. I think there are now 8 different Android projects for the Envisalink from our very industrious community but none on iPhone.

I'm not saying that iPhone users are lazy but ....

o I wish someone could make one for iphone.

'coz it doesn't refresh when I arm or disarm the alarm, so I wouldn't know the new status until I refresh again....

Yes, the refresh problem is quite annoying. I wish someone could fix that on the mobile portal. It wouldn't actually be too hard either. (hint, hint)

You can refresh it anytime you like just hit the "Status" in the bottom left corner and it will refresh the screen.

The only reason we don't auto-refresh is so that you don't forget that it is open and you accidentally drive your cell data bill up.

You can always stop the auto-refresh after the queued command has been processed, or if you hit some upper timeout limit, like 60 seconds. This should be an Ajax request targeting only the affected areas of the page, so the HTTP response will be quite small. There will be a very tiny impact on the data used, especially since most of the time, the queued command gets processed within a few seconds.

Mine is about 10 sec

It'll be nicee if theres a setting you can turn on/off auto-refresh.

We'll look at those suggestions for the next rev of the mobile.

Why don't someone write a simple Iphone App with push notifications on alarm conditions via Envisalink. I'm willing to buy this.

Only option currently is to check for new emails every few minutes(use more data and Ios7 "Do not disturb" function prevents notification at night)

I am unable to send SMS notifications to my phone for free. (non US)
