    Ya. buy a smart home systems and supported devices that it can hook on.
    Heck, you can even get the tub filled with hot water and wait for you when you get home :)

    What I really mean is:

    Is there any software to install into my Sony Ericson K800i and turns it into a remote control for TV or Doorgate?

    Do you think such software is possible to be developed or not?

     Thanks in advance.

    LOL! well i don't know the phone. It all end up if you know the device interface... say TV. each tv brand has a vendor code, if you know the details, you can send infra-red signal to it and control it. If you got tivo or xyz app in your PDA, it can control most of the devices, like dvd, tv, decoder, video player, etc.

    so if you know the infra-red details of the device, and you can make your phone send it. it can be controlled. of coz in your case your doorgate via infra-red also ? or radio-wave?
