What's Included

• INSTEON
  
• X10
  
• UPB (all device types from all UPB manufacturers)
  
• IR (via the global Cache GC-100)
  
• Wireless (via the WGL whole-house receiver)
  
• Weather (Davis Instruments weather status via direct connect or using an import file which allows support of any weather station)
  
• Thermostats (RCS X10, RCS UPB, X10 TempLinc, INSTEON thermostat adapter
  
• EZRain
  
• EZIO
  
• HCA is 100% Vista compatible

• Visual Scene Editor: Rather than creating scenes manually, HCA provides a visual method to program scene controllers and scene responders.
  
• Database capture: HCA reads the memory from your INSTEON devices. This lets HCA better understand all the links between all your devices. This helps keep HCA's state up to date with your devices, lets HCA show the connections between devices, and hunt down network linking problems.
  
• Map for documentation of network: How are all your devices programmed? What happens if a device loses it's programming or breaks? With the INSTEON Network Map you can see at a glance what controls and what responds.
  
• Read existing INSTEON network: If you have already installed and linked INSTEON gear, HCA can read out the contents of a device and follow the links to locate other devices. This method then lets you create HCA devices to represent them. From an INSTEON network quickly build a HCA design.
  
• Device Replace: Replacing a device in an INSTEON network is challenging. Not only does it have to be installed but it has to be reprogrammed and also all other devices that link with it. This is a major job. HCA can do it all for you with the Device Replace Wizard.
  
• Improved linking tabs for devices and controllers: In HCA 7 we gave you the ability to link devices with HCA so that HCA could start programs when HCA devices sent messages and the ability for HCA to control KeypadLinc indicator LEDs. In the new HCA we still have that ability but by using the new method of reading and writing device memory we can do it simpler and quicker.
  
• Network clean: It's not hard to have linking problems in an INSTEON network. If one device gets reset or you remove a device other devices that link with it retain their references to the now missing device. HCA can detect and remove those "dead" links.
  
• Multi-Way wizard: While the Visual Scene Editor is easy to use, if you want to create a multi-way association -each device controls all the others in the association and all respond to each other - HCA provides a wizard to do all the work for you.
  
• EZ-Rain:The INSTEON irrigation controller - the EZ-Rain - is supported
  
• Thermostat: The INSTEON thermostat adapter is supported.
  
• EZIO: The INSTEON input output module is supported
  
• RemoteLinc: The INSTEON wireless remote is supported
  
• PowerLinc dialog: Normally you would have no need to access the linking tables inside the 2414U PowerLinc. But sometimes you do to resolve problems. HCA provides an extensive dialog for that
  
• Improved HCA program triggering: More options for trigger programs from INSTEON messages
  
• Improved design checker for INSTEON devices: Now that HCA has the linking databases of all your devices, it can look for and report on more possible error conditions

• HCA does not support schedule and program downloading to the 2414U PowerLinc.
  
• Smooth dimming is limited on some old X-10 devices (LM465 and
  similar) due to a limitation of the 2414U
  
• Use of extended command sequences is limited on some X-10 devices
  (LM14, AM14, and some Leviton devices) due to a limitation of the 2414U

• Visual Scheduler: Create time based schedules with simple drag and drop
  
• Visual Programmer Create actions that respond to events in a visual manner without a "scripting language"
  
• Web Interface: Built in web server with a user interface for remote access to your HCA design. Mobile devices are also supported with an interface tailored to small screens. Includes security features.
  
• Protocol Bridge: Simple method to bridge technologies. For example, control an INSTEON device with a UPB keypad or a X10 device with an INSTEON keypad.
  
• Design checker: Background task that constantly looks for problems in your design and its operation
  
• Programming support for older style X10 smart switches
  
• Create displays or your devices and home using DXF backgrounds. DXF is produced by most floor plan creation programs.
  
• Occupancy wizard to create schedules that make your home look "lived" in.
  
• Full user guide
  
• Unlimited no-cost email based technical support for registered users
