| BEDFORD, NH --- September 1,
2004 --- A new version of the award winning HomeSeer Home
Automation Software is being introduced
by HomeSeer Technologies LLC. HomeSeer 2.0 is an entirely new
application that takes advantage of the latest computing technologies,
including the Microsoft™ .NET Framework. The framework
allows the application to be totally distributed. The HomeSeer
server application runs on a central PC as a service. Client
PCs in the home or on the Internet can be used for text-to-speech
or standard text notifications. HomeSeer 2.0 also supports
ASP.NET, which allows users to easily create their own control
interfaces. Support
for secure web pages (HTTPS) is one of the new security features
in HomeSeer’s
already reliable web server. New support for extensive
macros allows event actions to
perform an endless variety of tasks. The management interface
is totally web based, so the entire system can be configured
using any web browser. HomeSeer 2.0 is backwards compatible
with previous versions. All current add-ons and automation
hardware is supported. This includes the new Media Center
interface, TouchPad touch screen/ PocketPC interface, web
cams, Z-Wave, X10, and more.
“This upgrade will enable HomeSeer to be the most
reliable and feature rich software package available for
home control,” states Richard Tinker, Chief Technology
Officer for HomeSeer.
HomeSeer 2.0 will be available late
2004. For the past six years HomeSeer
Technologies has been creating some of the most popular
and robust automation systems available.
HomeSeer Technologies’ flagship product HomeSeer has
been a solution for many levels of users from mission critical
systems such as the lighting for the New York State Bridge
Authority to the needs of their 7,000+ residential and do-it-yourselfer
users. HomeSeer has won numerous awards including TechTV’s
Best of CES 2004, HomeAutomation top 50, TechLiving’s
HOT LIST for 2004, and was recently selected as a central
integration component in all episodes of the hit FOX TV show “Renovate
My Family”. HomeSeer Technologies web site is HomeSeer.com.
