Essential Info

Control your lighting, sprinkler system, HVAC, and security cameras directly from your computer or from the convenience of your couch. INSTEON-Compatible mControl Software has been designed for Windows™ XP Media Center Edition 2005; however, mControl can also be run on Windows 2000 or Windows XP Pro and viewed from Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater. MControl uses a powerline interface (such as the INSTEON PowerLinc Controller USB, sold separately) to deliver your commands through your powerlines. Smarthome does not accept returns on any opened software.

    INSTEON and X10 Modules Supported
    mControl supports both the INSTEON (patent pending) and X10 protocols, allowing both systems to be used as your systems evolve. mControl's unique architecture also provides the ability to place the home automation adapters on your PC of choice so that you keep any clutter around the living room PC to a minimum.

    Powerline Interface Kit Available
    The INSTEON-Compatible mControl Software is also available to be purchased in a kit with a PowerLinc Controller.

    Note: Your PC will need to remain on in order to execute timed commands and triggered events. This software does not download to the PowerLinc V2 Controller at this time.

    "This software is extremely well documented with constant updates available from Embedded Automation. Configuration with INSTEON was painless. I highly reccomend this product to any home automation enthusiast." - GIANNI - TAMPA, FL
    "I''''ve been using mControl with Insteon products since Dec ''''07. This is a fairly new company and they have my full respect. Check out their forums and see how often they post. They release updates constantly and work on this software every day. Their updates/upgrades are all free, too. This software is compatible with all Insteon and most other protocols, including the new Venstar adapter and IR remote control adapter. They recently came out with an Insteon status utility to check out your devices on the fly. I run a Windows Home Server as primary mControl install, MCE2005 and XP setup. I have no troubles doing the things I want with lighting and appliance automation. Highly recommended!" - MitchSchaft - Memphis, TN
    "This product works very well. This is easy to program. Once you install it on one computer the controls can be accessed from any other computer on your network (you''ll need to make a few tweaks to your XP firewalls). This means you can control your lights and devices from any networked computer in the house. I have used this to program (macros) lights to gradually come on in the morning to wake up the kids and to go on and off at various times. You can program a screen button to turn any or all lights out. You can even program macros triggered by a Powerlinc paddle button - with extremely precise control over lighting levels. Security triggers can be programmed using compatible IP cameras and X10 motion detectors, although you''ll have to dig a little deeper to do this. Excellent value for < $100." - RJC - Ottawa, Ontario Canada
