FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
May 2, 2007
Bedford, NH – HomeSeer
Technologies announces its new “HomeTroller” home
automation controller. The new controller is designed to
integrate home lighting, appliances, security, climate and
audio/video systems by combining the best attributes of the
most popular automation systems available. Homeowners can
choose the technologies that best suit their needs and control
their homes with a wide assortment of interfaces including
push-button controllers, touchscreens, wireless remotes,
telephones, even voice! Like other HomeSeer systems, HomeTroller
is also web-enabled and may be accessed by any internet-capable
device from anywhere in the world.
“For years, integrators and homeowners have had to
choose between hardware-controlled and software-controlled
automation
systems”, stated Richard Helmke, HomeSeer’s founder
and president. “Hardware-based systems have typically
offered the highest level of reliability and ease of installation
while software-based systems have provided the greatest power
and flexibility. With HomeTroller, we combine the best of
both approaches by offering the same high reliability and
easy installation of a hardware-based system with all the
power and flexibility of a software-based system.”
Two new technologies are being introduced to help make
HomeTroller ultra-reliable. HSSentry+™ constantly
monitors the unit for problems and resets the system if
any are detected. HSProtect™ guards the embedded
operating system from any virus, spyware or malware attacks.
Together, these new technologies work in tandem to provide
HomeTroller with the highest possible level of reliability.
HomeTroller is designed to work seamlessly with industry
standards and products from leading manufactures such as
Lutron®, Intermatic®, Leviton®, Russound®,
Cooper®, Monster Cable®, Microsoft®, Centralite®,
DSC®, Aprilaire®, ACT and RCS (to name just a few).
Support for the latest automation technologies such as
Z-Wave®, and Insteon® is also included.
HomeTroller is slated to begin shipping in May, 2007.
For the past nine years, HomeSeer Technologies has been
creating some of the most popular and robust automation
systems available. HomeSeer Technologies’ software
and hardware controllers have been installed in over 11,000+
residential and commercial sites. HomeSeer has won numerous
awards including TechTV’s Best of CES, HomeAutomation
top 50, TechLiving’s HOT LIST, and was recently selected
as a central integration component in all episodes of the
hit FOX TV show “Renovate My Family”. HomeSeer
