I'm subscribed, because I want exactly this!
What is the plan primarily? You access the Application only when you want to see it, or will it become live if the AC3 sends an error? I want to buy an iPhone anyway, but one of the main reasons is to check on my tank via the AC3.

Marc, you do not need an iPhone to get into your AC3 remotely. Any cell phone with internet access should work for you. I have a dynamic IP address at home so I signed up with dyndns.com for a free redirector in case my IP changes I can still connect.
I got everything hooked up and stood there in front of my tanks turning lights on and off with my cell phone. I had to call my kids in to show them. Then called my wife in .. they were so excited
LOL
All you need to do is type your IP address into the phone's browser and then login just as you would on the local network.
The graphs don't work on my Instinct but at least I can see the status and change anything through the "on/off/auto" settings.
This is an awesome application and much better than the AC3 webserver but I wanted to be sure you knew you didn't NEED this app to check on your system from afar

Well, I know that but I'm still using an ancient Razor phone and don't use it other than to make calls. I don't text people, I don't send or receive emails. That's what the iPhone may do in the future, but for now it is a telephone.
The iPhone will be my mp3 player, my Google Maps page, and I'll be able to check on my tank. Maaaaybe I'll text people occasionally. :lol:
I've got a strange address set up now that allows me to check the controller, but it isn't an IP address. I did use that dyndns.com page to help, but that wasn't all we did. We also used something called no-ip.org.

Now now.... don't break my heart. You can't get the iPhone, but you do need to get rid of that Razor. I sent you a PM over on dfwmas forums.
You want a sick phone I'll tell ya what you can look for and etc. Even show it off to ya, I don't have a problem with showing ya when I come check out your setup on a weekend coming up, hopefully!

im already working on it
I've got the app ready, I just need the format of the telnet output for the various commands. If someone can paste them here, that would help a ton.
Add me on AIM, I PM'd you.
Why not work on one for the Android OS that T-Mobile G1 users are using? It's open-source and I don't think it would give you to much trouble, whereas Apple can be sticklers when it comes to software products available for the iPhone.
Very cool- I parse folks html output into xml via the signature generator on reefchat.

Folks can enter details such as the URL to their status page, password (if needed) and what type of controller they have, and every 5 minutes I reach out, parse the html generated by their AC3 or Aquanotes, and then generate an xml file as well as a text file that's converted to an image as needed.
My app wouldn't help here though, it's only about _pulling_ data from a controller, not pushing changes in the status of devices.
