Version 7 HCA-IP
Back Home Next

New to HCA 7 are a series of additional products designed to allow access to HCA over a network.  Simply put, using these new components you can control HCA from anyplace at anytime using any network connected device.  For example, a smart phone, pocket PC, Windows Media Center Edition, or over a local network.

I have been using and beta testing HCA since version 3. I have used most of the devices supported by HCA over the years and Version 7.0 is the best release yet. With the addition of Insteon support my home automation reliability has improved by orders of magnitude. I Wouldn't consider using anything else for my home control needs.   Hey, I almost forgot!  The new HCA-IP stuff is way cool!  I can control my home from a smart phone!
-- Steve C.
