Version 8 HCA-IP

In HCA 8 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 an HCA user for over 3 years now. Initially I used it on an experimental basis as a novice user, now I use many of the advanced feature as an expert user. I believe HCA is one of the most advanced Home Automation software products available. This is largely due to the Automation interface and the ability to develop my own software to compliment HCA.

Now that HCA enhances the INSTEON experience I believe it will continue to maintain it's position as the leading Home Automation software.
