HomeSeer Technologies announced the release of its second generation home automation controller - PRO-100 Series-II which will begin shipping in December 2006.

The Series-II unit includes a faster processor, twice the memory, twice the storage and twice as many serial and LAN ports as its predecessor PRO-100 Series-I unit which was released last year. However HomeSeer’s director of sales, Mark Colegrove, claims that it has maintained the same level of high reliability and low power consumption with the Series-II.

PRO-100 Series-II units are designed to integrate and automate the many systems of today’s modern home such as lighting, appliances, security, HVAC and home theater.

Of particular note, PRO-100 controllers are the only units available that feature voice control, telephone integration and offer the widest selection of user interfaces available. “With the PRO-100, homeowners can interact with their homes in a way that’s most comfortable for them. The PRO-100 works with touchscreens, keypads, wireless remote controls, via voice recognition and remotely from any browser-based device. We even include a special interface for Microsoft’s Windows Media Center!” states Colegrove.

The PRO-100 is designed to work seamlessly with products from leading manufactures such as Lutron®, Intermatic®, Leviton®, Russound®, Cooper®, Monster Cable®, Microsoft®, Centralite®, Vantage®, DSC®, Aprilaire®, ACT and RCS (to name just a few). Support for the latest automation technologies such as Z-Wave, UPB and INSTEON is also included.
