INSTEON is a reliable, affordable home control technology that can be used in both new and retrofit applications. INSTEON uses both the home or business electrical wiring AND wireless RF communication so it can be installed without having to run any new or special wiring. With INSTEON you can create elegant scene lighting or add automation control, scheduling and even remote access via Internet, iPhone, Blackberry or Android smart phones.
- Secure - INSTEON supports encrypted messages and uses addresses similar to IP addresses so your neighbours won't interfere with your network
- Fast - INSTEON responds almost instantly to commands
- Reliable - INSTEON uses both RF and Powerline technologies and each device acts as a repeater creating a "mesh network" so the network becomes even more reliable as you build it out.
- Compatible with X10 - Most INSTEON products support X10 signals so if you have existing equipment you can gradually upgrade.
We have several INSTEON starter kits to choose from or you can add devices "a la carte".
