Evaluation Copy Download

To help you understand the power and flexibility of the Home Control Assistant you can download an evaluation copy of HCA.

I've been using HCA since 2001 and have never found a more feature rich, well supported or reliable home automation software system. HCA always comes through for me when there is something either easy OR tough to do. This new release of HCA kicks things up MORE than a notch with native Insteon support and the new Web Server Interface. HCA will be my choice for years to come.

---Steve C

Simply follow these two steps!

Step 1:
Decide what evaluation you want. 
There are two options.

You can use HCA Limited which is feature limited but has no time limit.  For a minimal automation installation this will be all you need.  Since it's not time limited you can use it for as long as you like.

OR.....

You can use a 30 day time limited copy of HCA Plus.  For 30 days you have all the features of HCA Plus available to use.  No features are removed or limited.  And what you create with the evaluation copy of HCA Plus can be loaded into a purchased copy of HCA Standard, Plus, or Pro with no loss of your work.

I just started using home automation software in the last year and HCA is amazing. The ease of use, the clean design and now all of new features introduced in version 7 make it the best choice out there. I'm really excited to see Insteon Support and can't wait to finish migrating from x10 to Insteon! With the improvements to the user interface HCA7 blows away the competition.
