Insteon Powerlinc Controller Serial

The INSTEON PowerLinc Controller is a stand-alone home automation interface for controlling lights, appliances, heating/air conditioning systems and alarm systems. This module has on-board memory so timers and macros can be downloaded without the need to leave your computer up and running. This home automation interface uses a computer's Serial connection for downloading timer and event macros. The Smarthome Design engineers added the internal intelligence to control your home without a computer running a full-time automation program. On-board clock keeps accurate time, all the time, with integrated 10-year battery backup. PowerLinc Controller includes Smarthome's innovative pass-through AC outlet on the front of the unit. This outlet that allows you to plug in additional AC devices. While the outlet doesn't have any control features, it really helps against "power strip buildup". Note: No software is included with the PowerLinc V2, software sold separately.
