With HCA 8 we introduce a new HCA Web Server.  Installed with HCA it requires no other software to operate.

Once the HCA Web Server is started, http references to a configurable port number return an html interface which will allow you to interact with your HCA design.

By using a network and a browser, you can access your design to control devices, start and stop programs, look at the HCA log and many other actions.  You have full control except you can’t modify your design – add new devices, change programs, modify schedules, etc.

If you access you home from a mobile browser, the Web Pages adapt to the smaller display

Some very important points about this implementation

NOTE: The HCA web add-in requires the automation support built into HCA Plus and Pro.  HCA Web will not work with HCA Limited or Standard.
