Smart Home Software




There are many advantages to Powerhome, for example, you can configure the application to send status updates via email to a mobile phone The application has a fully programmable interface, meaning tech savvy home owners can input custom Visual Basic scripts to allow for greater control and flexibility. Powerhome Powerhome differs from and arguably betters ActiveHome and HomeSeer. A limitation of HomeSeer is the fact the PC must be running at all times, there are no options for downloading pre-defined settings onto a PC controller like you can in ActiveHome.

HomeSeer has an interface that somewhat resembles Microsoft Outlook with a bar situated on the left hand side of the screen that provides the user with three options; devices, events and logs. The application supports the INSTEON, Z-wave and X10 protocols. HomeSeer HomeSeer is a more refined software application than ActiveHome because it allows for greater flexibility, such as, controlling the home from web or email, something which ActiveHome does not initiate. It's saving grace however, is the fact it is readily available in Europe. You would have thought given that the application was developed by the market lead; X10 who have been around since the 70's that ActiveHome would be slick and sophisticated by now.
