Essential Info

HomeRunner RBI gives you complete control of your home’s lighting, HVAC, security, A/V, etc. from your smartphone, tablet, computer, or any web-enabled device. It supports both INSTEON and X10 technologies via the included INSTEON Power Line Modem (PLM) and has a RS-232 serial port for interfacing with a compatible serial device. The included software lets you create your own graphic user interface (GUI) using any photos, drawings, scans or downloaded images for the backgrounds and buttons, tailored to your own lifestyle. No complicated menus to navigate. Photos of each room in your house can be used as backgrounds with virtual buttons so you can simply touch a light or appliance in the picture to control it. A comprehensive Event Editor is also included for programming events based on time, date, sunrise/sunset or any set of conditions. Once uploaded, HomeRunner RBI serves your GUI to the network as a Remote Browser Interface (RBI) for control from any web-enabled device in the world via the internet or locally via wi-fi. The Windows-based application utilizes one of your network router ports and your home's existing powerline so you won't have to hassle with complicated installation or additional wiring. HomeRunner RBI supports a variety of INSTEON and X10 devices. It also includes a "Stargate Link" for interfacing with legacy Stargate-IP or CommStar-IP controllers and all connected devices via the Web Xpander. With HomeRunner RBI, you'll be able to personalize your interface. Build screens and buttons using the preset button images. Or transform any picture into an interactive control surface. Then, program items in the background of the picture to be your control buttons. * The PLM module included with this kit is not a dual-band module, for communication accross electrical phases, you will need to consider using additional INSTEON Dual-Band modules, sold separately.

    PIERRE -- carleton place, ON   7/1/2011
    this is the missing link that stargate needed. Finally a way to control insteon devices with the flexibility of my stargate. Also has the cool option of controlling your house with any web browser using your own design. Can also be your only controller if you like.
    JRW -- swedesboro, NJ   7/19/2011
    HomeRunner RBI is an excellent new product from JDS. Easy intuitive control of Insteon devices and X10. Programming of Events is easy and almost identical to Stargate. Communication with Stargate is made easy with a GUI. Whether you are an existing Stargate user, or want to use HRRBI stand-alone, HRRBI is great for converting home control from X10 to the much more reliable Insteon.
