Home Automation Software for Mac Supports INSTEON and X10
Posted on | July 3, 2009 | Comments Off
Indigo 4.0 is home automation software designed specifically for the Macintosh (Mac) operating system. It was designed to control INSTEON and X10-compatible products using the existing electrical wires in your home. The software can control lights, appliances, sprinklers, security systems and more. You can program specific action events to occur based on a variety of variables, including time. For example, you can program any lights to turn on and off at specific times, or at sunset. With this innovative Mac home automation software, you can even create delayed actions (i.e. turn off lights after 10 minutes of no motion being detected). Use an optional time randomizing feature for an at-home look while you are at work or on vacation. Indigo 4.0 gives you access to your home automation system from the internet anywhere in the world using the built-in Web server. Or you can add the Indigo Touch application for free, and remotely connect to your home from an iPhone or iPod touch. Your Mac will become an intelligent home automation server, offering unprecedented control of your INSTEON or X10 devices via computer, remote control operation, and timed or conditional variables. Using Indigo 4.0 to manage the use of your lighting, appliances, HVAC, sprinklers and more, can help reduce costs for your utilities and conserve energy at the same time. A PowerLinc Controller USB, sold separately, is required for Indigo to communicate with any INSTEON-compatible devices.
