Version 2.0 Coming to Smarthome Soon!Looking for the ultimate flexibility and control when it comes to programming and scheduling your home automation system? Put your search to an end with one of the most versatile and comprehensive home automation applications in the market. Unlike systems that just offer scheduling and control of X10 devices from your home computer, HomeSeer offers multiple control options, including voice recognition and interaction, as well as access to your X10 devices from the Internet!
Smarthome does not accept returns on any opened software.If you have dedicated Internet access (i.e. cable modem or DSL) and you want to control and monitor your home while you’re away, HomeSeer’s built-in Web server brings you full control of all your X10 devices through a password-protected Web page or by e-mail. HomeSeer supports a wide range of hardware, including all X10 lamp and appliance modules, programmable wall switches and infrared audio/video devices through such IR interfaces as the Smarthome Design PC/IR Linc and JDS IR Xpander infrared controller. HomeSeer also features powerful event mechanisms, enabling you to create events triggered by X10 commands received, absolute time, sunrise/sunset (with offset) and matched infrared commands. Triggers can also be set with conditions.
Other features include interaction with security systems, including the Expandable Hardwired/Wireless Security System (#79731), which communicates with HomeSeer through a serial port. The security system can notify HomeSeer about any event that occurs in the system, including sensor status change and alarm events. You can then trigger events based on those responses.
For temperature control, HomeSeer supports HVAC devices through the use of scripts, including the #3049B and #3049C bi-directional X10 thermostats (sold separately). Requires: 486/66 computer (Pentium processor required for voice recognition); 16MB RAM; 20MB hard disk space; sound card; microphone; serial port for X10 interface; serial port for Smarthome Design PC/IR Linc; and Windows 95/98/00/NT.
Homeseer is a software only product that runs continuously on a computer. You will need to purchase the interface hardware separately to send or receive X10 signals, control IR-based audio and video equipment, or temperature. Homeseer supports the following interfaces:
