With the PRO-100, there are many options to choose from including touchscreens, wireless remotes, in-wall push-button controllers, by voice (microphone & telephone) or Microsoft Windows Media Center. Install as few or as many as you like to meet your client's needs. With HomeSeer, your choice is never limited!

	In-Wall "Scene" Controllers
	The PRO-100 is designed to work with scene controllers from many manufacturers based on hard-wired, wireless and powerline technologies. Buttons can be easily configured to control devices directly or execute automation 'events'.

	Microsoft Windows Media Center (MCE)

	PDA / PocketPC Control
	The PRO-100 includes a built-in webserver and special web interface for small browser-enabled devices like PDAs and PocketPCs; perfect for travelers and vacationers wishing to monitor and control their homes remotely!

Reliability

The PRO-100 was designed to be the most reliable home controller available. The hardware is free from any moving parts. A small-footprint, embedded, write-protected operating system provides an ultra-reliable software platform.

Web Based Management

The system is managed using any web browser. This allows for easy configuration on or off site. Remote access to the unit offers the ability to remotely manage the unit without making a trip to the site. Easily add/change schedules, or troubleshoot issues.

Mechanical Design

The PRO-100 has a very small footprint (11”wide x 7” deep x 2” high) and can installed or mounted in a variety of locations. Since the unit is fan-less, it can be mounted inside a structured wiring cabinet or any other type of cabinet.

Customizable Software

The system software is totally customizable, including the user interface. An API (Application Programming Interface Specification) is available that allows for the creation of custom software “plug-ins”. These plug-ins allow the software to be extended to support custom hardware. The system also includes a scripting interface that supports the popular scripting languages such as VBScript, JavaScript, and Perl. Scripts are a quick way to add custom functionality such as complex if-then-else logic, or for sending binary or ASCII text to a serial port. The user interface and custom interfaces are built or modified using simple web (HTML) technologies.

Support & Training

All HomeSeer PRO dealers packages include priority telephone support and a web-based training class on PRO-100 basics. Advanced and custom classes are also available for those who wish enhance their skills.
