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.

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
    "mControl. I've been using this for about 8 months and generally satisfied. Smarthome has come out with many new products in 2008 and Embedded Automation has not been able to keep up. So, just becuase an item is insteon compatible, don't count on mControl being able to deal with it, yet. The support staff is usually responsive to questions. Be prepared for some coding if the basics for your device aren't available. This seems to be the only game in town, now, which offers compatibility with Windows Home Server and integration with Vista Media Center. The GUI is very basic and little customization is available, unless you write your own code. My advice is do the research first and know what your getting into." - Butch - Tracy, CA
    "I work with computers and yet this software is just about as complicated as you can get - double and triple layers of commands rather than anything that resembles a straight forward approach to home automation. If you are a true techie - this might be for you. I need a product that works quickly and easily out of the box. mControl does not fit the bill." - maxryan - Toledo, Ohio
