FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
July 11, 2008
Bedford, NH – HomeSeer Technologies announces its new
Series 2 HomeTroller home automation controller. The new
unit features a fan-less, diskless ‘hybrid’ design
that combines the reliability and simplicity of conventional
hardware controllers with the power and flexibility of software-based
automation systems. As with the original HomeTroller, the
new Series 2 unit is designed to integrate and automate the
many systems of a typical home including lighting, appliances,
security, climate, irrigation, window covering, and audio/video
systems.
HomeTroller is compatible with a wide range of wireless,
hard-wired and power line automation technologies and Homeowners
and integrators can choose from a dizzying assortment of
human interfaces including push-button controllers, touchscreens,
wireless remotes, telephones, and even voice! Like all
HomeSeer systems, HomeTroller is also web-enabled and may
be accessed by any internet-capable device from anywhere
in the world.
“We designed the original HomeTroller with four
important factors in mind; flexibility, reliability, energy
efficiency, and affordability. The new unit is every bit
as flexible as the original but offers improved reliability
and a lower price.” states Richard Helmke, HomeSeer’s
president and founder. “The original HomeTroller
was very energy efficient, consuming only about 22 watts
of power. With the Series 2 fan-less diskless design, we’ve
cut that figure in half!”
HomeTroller is designed to work seamlessly with industry
standards and products from leading manufacturers such
as Cooper®, Lutron®, Intermatic®, Leviton®,
Russound®, Monster Cable®, Microsoft®, NuVo®,
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 July, 2008.
