HCA supports many products available from SmartHome.com.

The serial PowerLinc and USB PowerLinc are power line interfaces that HCA can use to send and receive signals through out your home.  These interfaces are perfect for a small home and offer a low cost solution for cost conscious customers.   These do not have a memory for downloaded schedules and programs.

Starting in HCA 7 and expanded in HCA 8, support was added for the SmartHome line of Insteon devices. More information can be found here.

HCA also supported the new USB PowerLinc Controller (1132CU) and Serial PowerLinc Controller.  These products are very similar to the PowerLinc products but they do have a memory.  HCA fully supports generating memory images for downloading to the PowerLinc Controller.  In this way you can use HCA to download to the PowerLinc Controller and have it operate stand-alone, or you can download just your most important programs and schedules into the PowerLinc Controller and have HCA, running on your computer, handle the more complex stuff.  Complete information on just what can and can't be downloaded to the PowerLinc Controller is covered in a technical note. 

The PC to IR Linc allows HCA to send IR commands to any device who operates with an IR remote.  Included in HCA are a full function IR Keypad builder so you can work with a keypad containing the keys you need and labeled in the appropriate manner.  Using these keypads you can create HCA programs that control IR devices, and also schedule IR command sequences to be sent at any time you choose.

The SwitchLinc wall switch and LampLinc module are an advanced X10 controllable device that offers local scene storage (most but not all models), advanced dimming, and adjustable lighting ramp rates.  To program these switches a series of X10 signals is sent to the switch.  HCA contains a user interface that makes it significantly simpler to setup the switch.  This way you get the switches programmed without spending hours sending X10 signals from a keypad.

Finally, HCA supports the HouseLinc.  This interface is capable of sending and receiving X10 signals, sending IR signals, and contains a processor and memory for independent operation.  Setup for the IR features of the HouseLinc is a bit more involved than the IRLinc but is fully supported by HCA.

Using the HCA download wizard you can select programs and schedules for download to the HouseLinc.  HCA translates the selected schedules and graphical programs into the internal codes required by the HouseLinc and performs the download for you.  Any features of HCA programs and schedules that can't be translated to the HouseLinc are noted.

No other software available supports these SmartHome products are completely as HCA.
