The CES is a great place to showcase some of the world’s best technology and no company would leave out a chance to do that. Adding to the growing list of the products and companies showing off at CES 2008 is Lagotek, a company providing home automation, together with Ikanos, a UK-based software outfit specializing in Windows SideShow tech.

Lagotek is looking to present its “HIP Modes” Sideshow home control gadget, which endows Apple’s iPhone and iTouch the ability to run Windows Sideshow (via Ikanos’ Go Gadgets technology) and control homes remotely in the process. Go Gadgets is a new web application that allows a user to turn his iPhone and iTouch into a Sideshow-capable device. It also supports Windows Mobile/CE devices and allows remote access by WiFi, GPRS, EDGE, and 3G.

According to Lagotek, HIP Modes are macro states created by the user and upon selecting a specific Mode, the user can control a variety of household devices such as lights, temperature, AV devices, security systems, etc., all on an iPhone or iTouch over WiFi or GPRS/EDGE.
