mControl - Digital Home Software

Since its introduction in 2005, mControl has become one of the top applications for the digital home, used by thousands of customers worldwide.

Embedded Automation has got here by continually adding innovative new functionality including support of new digital home protocol technologies (INSTEON, Z-Wave, KNX, ZigBee), pervasive user interfaces (Media Center, touchscreens, mobile), features for managing resources (power management module, smart grid integration) and many more.

It is our promise to continue down this path of innovation, to build the best digital home software on the planet. Our goal for mControl is clear: To be the software for your Digital Home.

mControl is software for managing your Digital Home. mControl manages interaction with devices within your home - providing mechanisms for energy management, security and surveillance, media management and other controllable devices.

Out of the box, mControl supports a broad range of technologies and protocols - allowing your digital home to take control of metering systems, lighting solutions, climate controls, security systems, cameras, audio/visual equipment and beyond.

mControl provides real-time information and status on each device, allows control of these devices and has a sophisticated logic and rules engine to automate operation of these devices.

mControl includes a variety of built-in user interfaces, allowing instant status and control of your digital home from your preferred location and platform. Whether you prefer a browser, a media center (TV) interface, a touchscreen or your mobile phone - your digital home is accessible to you.
