Embedded Automation Releases mControl v2 (Home Edition)
Surrey, BC – September 12, 2007 - 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:
- New high-fidelity user interface for Microsoft Vista Media
Center
- Many new and/or enhanced drivers for controlling security
systems, climate control, cameras, lighting systems and other home control
technologies
- Driver Development Kit (DDK) to allow developers to write
their own drivers
- Enhanced macro functionality, which permits automation of
home devices
- 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."
