Read full descriptionHide full description
EES Control acts as a smart alternative to a physical keypad. It is an IoT app for remote control of CCTV systems, gates, lights ā virtually anything. EES Control works with www.eesltd.ie services to give end-users seamless control of their monitored CCTV systems. Not only does it allow to check the status of your alarm or CCTV system, but it gives complete visibility and transparency of who has done what, and complete control who can access your property. Unlike a keypad, where no one knows who has the code, in this case new users can be added, and existing users deleted, with a single swipe. Features: + Manage up to 4 zones/devices per site + Control multiple site + Give zones/devices custom names. + 24/7 Activity Log + Arm/Disarm reminders + Multiple users with two user levels (manager and standard) + Works with any NVR/DVR type + Latch and pulse options available on each switch type ā you decide which depending on what you are controlling

Waiting on an Irish visa, work permit, or IRP renewal? Processing.ie estimates WHEN your application is likely to be processed ā a date, not an approval outcome ā and shows the historical data behind that estimate. The Irish authorities publish only one line per category: the date they are "currently processing". That tells you nothing about when YOUR application ā filed on a different day ā will come up. Processing.ie fills that gap. How it works: The app reads the daily progress snapshots published by Irish immigration authorities and fits a linear regression to that history, projecting when your own application date is likely to reach the front of the queue ā shown as both a calendar date and a countdown. Your date is plotted on a scatter chart of every published snapshot, on the fitted trend line, so you can see exactly where your case sits. This estimates a processing DATE. It does not predict whether your visa or permit will be approved. Covers three official sources: ⢠Visa decisions (Dublin) ā applications and appeals ⢠Employment permits ā all sub-categories ⢠IRP renewals (Burgh Quay registrations) What you get: ⢠A per-applicant result, status-coloured: green once your date has arrived, amber while you're still waiting ⢠Historical scatter plot of past "currently processing" snapshots, the fitted regression trend, and your application's position on it ⢠Interactive "Explore history" time-slider that refits the trend on the snapshots known up to any earlier day ā so you can watch how the estimate for your date settled as more data arrived ⢠In-app "How it works" guide on where the data comes from, how the regression works, and how to read the chart, with links to the three official sources ⢠Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets showing the queue-head date or your personal countdown ⢠Ask Siri, use Shortcuts or Spotlight, or set the Action Button to check your estimate hands-free ā without opening the app ⢠Works offline with the last downloaded copy ⢠Light and dark mode, with full Dynamic Type support ⢠English (en-IE) Premium (optional, one-time $0.99 purchase): ⢠Personal "N days to go" countdown on widgets, derived from your application date ⢠Processing-date alerts: notifications as your estimated date approaches ā set one or more reminders (e.g. 30 and 7 days before), at a time you choose ⢠Removes the banner ad from the main screen Your form selections (chosen source, category, type, application date) are stored on your device and are not transmitted off the device. Disclaimer: this is an unofficial estimator. Estimates are statistical projections from publicly published progress and are not affiliated with Irish immigration authorities.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: EES Control at none against Processing.ie's 1. EES Control also leads on ads (none vs shown). Processing.ie's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
