This iWavit virtual remote emulates the Lutron MAESTRO IR remote control unit MIR-ITFS for home lighting control. It allows for dimming of lights and turning them on/off. The specific part number of the dimmer from Lutron is MIR-600THW but this remote should work for other products by Lutron as well.
The iWavit attachment is needed for this app to work. See www.iwavit.com for details.
Insert the iWavit attachment into the iPhone/iPod touch and you will hear a sound indicating that the iWavit has paired successfully with the iPhone. (The iWavit USB dongle and IR Lightbar are not required). Now you are ready to control your Lutron Light Switch with your virtual remote.
The layout of the buttons is similar to the remote that ships with the Lutron Dimmer.
There are a few notable benefit of iWavit Virtual Remotes over a traditional remotes:
1. Buttons are large and easy to hit,
2. Buttons are easily seen in the dark, so no need to turn on the lights in the room just to adjust the volume, and
3. You can have any number of virtual remotes without adding to the clutter in your living room.
The "iWavit for Lutron" app is part of a family of iWavit Virtual Remotes for some Major-Brand electronic devices, and PCs and Macs. For those who wish to create their own custom Remote Controls, we have created the Ultimate Remote Control app called Tabula Rasa. With the Tabula Rasa app you can create your own remotes, download remotes, upload remotes to share them with others, search our modest IR database or learn IR codes directly from your old IR remotes. You can even create macros for embedding multiple functions inside a single button. You can also use the app to control PCs/Macs using USB Keyboard strokes or through the patented DirectPointing air-mouse technology built into the iWavit.
The HOME button on the front screen will take you to the iWavit app called iWavit Flow, if it is installed. This app provides for convenient cover-flow selection of all the iWavit apps installed on your iPhone, as well as ALL those available on the App Store.

3) A patented Wavit 3D Tracker, which allows for absolute tracking of the iPhones position and orientation in 3D space, making it ideal for use as a DirectPoint 3D air mouse for PCs and Macs.
4) A wireless PC microphone for controlling a PC or Mac via voice commands, or simple for making VOIP calls on your PC. (This is separate from the iPhones microphone)
