FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
June 28, 2006
Bedford, NH – A new version of the award winning
HomeSeer Home Automation Software was released today by
HomeSeer
Technologies LLC. HomeSeer HS2 v2.1 builds on the power
and flexibility of v2.0 (released last year) and offers
even
greater reliability.
The new version is the first software of its kind written
entirely in Microsoft's .NET 2.0 framework. It is the
only program of its type to offer remote internet-based
voice
recognition, text-to-speech and audio capabilities. HomeSeer
HS2 is designed to integrate and control lighting, appliances,
security, HVAC, home theater and other common home systems.
HomeSeer
HS2 may be easily installed by any homeowner and then
controlled using voice, telephone, touchscreens, wall controllers,
handheld remotes and even PocketPCs or PDAs. As with
version
v2.0,
v2.1 also supports
ASP.NET, which allows users to easily create their own
control interfaces. The web interface also supports screen
readers,
offering accessibility for those who are sight-impaired.
"Home 'Control' and 'Automation' are often considered to
be the same thing." states Mark Colegrove, sales director
for HomeSeer, "However, most other systems offer little
more than centralized 'manual' control of the home. HomeSeer
starts with centralized control but then adds true automation
to the equation!"
HomeSeer HS2 supports many popular automation technologies
and companies such as
Z-Wave, INSTEON, UPB, Lutron (HomeWorks and RadioRA), Leviton,
Intermatic, HAI, DSC and hundreds more. Additional support
for professional-grade distributed audio systems from Russound
and hardwired lighting
systems from Centralite and Vantage is planned for later this
year.
A professional version of the software, designed for installers
and integrators, is also available. Contact HomeSeer for details.
HomeSeer HS2 v2.1
is shipping now.
