With the software, air conditioners, heaters, lighting apparatuses and other home appliances can be turned on and off. The company plans to use the software for services that control the power consumption of home utilities.

The company expects the software to remotely control home appliances via gateway devices on the assumption that a ZigBee network is established at home.
