Nokia will be demonstrating their Home Control Centre at the upcoming Nokia World event (which All About Symbian will be attending). Geared towards networking your home services and equipment so they can be controlled by a PC or smartphone, either locally or remotely. It is expected to be commercially available in the second half of 2009.

The first product, in partnership with European energy company RWE has the environmental aim to reduce energy use (and the resulting CO2 emissions), will be geared towards controlling the heating in your house:

The product consists of a central control unit together with remote-controlled thermostats for the actual radiator. The user interface will be the PC and the mobile phone. In addition, a separate display will be available. RWE is also planning special offers combining these devices with new energy supply contracts. In a second step, Nokia and RWE are planning additional services in connection with smart meters beyond 2009. These services will provide consumers with real-time information about their energy consumption and allow them to control their energy bill remotely.
