Today, Embedded Automation announced general availability of mControl v2 (Home Edition). mControl v2
(Home Edition) is immediately available from the Embedded Automation web store and through the Authorized mHome
Dealer Network. mControl v2 (Home Edition) is a free upgrade for users of mControl v1 (Home Edition).
mControl v2 (Home Edition) includes the following new enhancements:
Ř New high-fidelity user interface for Microsoft Vista Media Center
Ř Many new and/or enhanced drivers for controlling security systems, climate control, cameras, lighting systems
and other home control technologies
Ř Driver Development Kit (DDK) to allow developers to write their own drivers
Ř Enhanced macro functionality, which permits automation of
home devices
Ř New diagnostics, more documentation and many performance improvements
"mControl is the first widely available home control
solution which supports Vista's Media Center. In addition to
the ton of new features, we added the new user interface
written in the native language of Vista's Media Center. Just
like the Media Center platform, within which it seamlessly
fits, has brought digital media integration to the average
household, this
spectacular graphical interface is opening the door to the
digital home for everyone, not just the elite few. You can
view and control your home from your TV through a Vista
Media Center, through your networked XBox 360, any of the
soon-to-be-released Media Center v2 Extenders, or even via a
secure connection from a remote location," said Ted Singh, Business Development Manager of Embedded Automation.
"We have had thousands of customers download our mControl v2
betas and we've been extremely encouraged with their
feedback," added Ted Singh. "But while this is a big
milestone for us, with the v2 foundation solidly in place,
we're very excited about bringing more of the digital home
to our customers."
