Love this thing... it really needs a native iPhone app!

I just got mine installed tonight. The process is pretty seamless, although I had to search around for instructions on how to create the mobile link... that's not readily available information that I could find. I think that should be put in the FAQ or somewhere else more obvious. Trying to login on the main website using a mobile device just takes you back to the home page without any explanation.

Anyway, the hardware (and firmware/service) is great... the user interface... not so much. I won't get harsh on the mobile portal since I imagine it's a proof of concept that's been quickly put together to get things working and I assume a native app is in the works. I believe a native app would go along way to making this product more successful if it had the polish and usability that you'd expect from a nice native app. The guys at Alarm.com and Honeywell Total Connect have beautiful apps that probably sell their ridiculous monitoring services more than you know. It would probably represent a decent income stream as well. As everyone know's there's a guy selling a terrible app for $5 and I'd hate to know how much he's been rewarded for that POS.

Any insights into when we might see a native app?

Thanks for making a great affordable product and keep up the good work! :)

Yes, we know we need native apps...

Right now we're beta testing the public API for the module and we hope when that is released we can focus on apps and we invite others to offer them too.

Thanks for the feedback.
