Control your Aviosys power switches on the move

August 2, 2013 Jack Hughes

The Power IP app gives you access and control of your Aviosys power switches from anywhere you can use your Android based phone or tablet. A wide range of Aviosys power switches are supported including the 9258S, 9258SP, and 9255 models.

Aviosys manufacture a range of remote power switches. Each power switch has a web interface so that you can simply log in and manually control the power to the attached devices.

That's all very well, but what happens when you are not at your desk and you need to control your devices on the move. You could use your smart phone's web browser. But, especially when you have more than one power switch, that can be quite painful to remember which device is which and browse to the correct unit.

Thankfully for Android® users, a solution is at hand.

Amapps have developed the Power IP app. It supports a wide range of Aviosys IP Power switches including the 9258S, 9258SP, and 9255 models. The app allows you to power on or off an unlimited number of devices remotely from anywhere in the world using your Android mobile or tablet, schedule events for the devices to turn themselves on and off, or power cycle a device such as a router or server to reboot it.

Power IP is available from Google Play for £1.89.

P.S. Surprisingly, no similar app currently exists for Apple iPhone.
