CES 2008 Accessories

By Terry Currier

Actiontec www.actiontec.com

With the Actiontec zControl™ users can take “total

home control” from a jumble of mismatched and often

incompatible devices and systems to a consistent,

unied experience unmatched in set up and usability.

Housed in a small, unobstructive plastic case it can

auto-discover compatible devices and pre-congure

them, while also using conguration wizards to set

up other new devices, appliances and services. All of

your lights, motion detectors and IP cameras can be

accessed as well as thermostats, electronic shades and

blinds, and even lawn and garden components like

automatic sprinklers.

One setting might turn on the hallway light, heat and

lawn sprinklers after work. Others might raise the

shades in the morning, light the house to set the scene

for a romantic dinner, switch lights on and off during

the day while you’re on vacation, or let you turn on

specic house lights from your phone when you’re

sitting in the driveway late at night.

Whether you’re watching television in the living

room, surng the Internet in the den, or logging on to

a computer across the country. Context-based screens

allow different users to customize the interface to

highlight the tasks they consider most important,

eliminating on-screen confusion.

The zControl™ also contains a

comprehensive help system that keeps

you informed and guides you through

any difculties you may encounter. If

something goes really wrong, you can

contact a remote technician who can

“virtually enter” your system and x

any problems. Users can add other

Zwave-enabled devices by simply

pressing the Discovery button on the front of the

zControl™, and then clicking the appropriate button

on the other Zwave device. The second device will

then automatically be added to your network. zControl

is the only product in its class with this automated

discovery capability, eliminating the need to perform

a two-step discovery process using a remote control or

enter router IP addresses, SSIDs or other identiers.

It is also the only home automation controller that

can use both PCs and Macs for scene setup and other

functions.

The standalone Actiontec zControl Starter Kit is

available at an MSRP of $399 including the zControl

unit, one indoor camera with motion detector, one

lighting control module, and a remote control.

zControl-enabled wireless gateways and routers will

be released in March. I met with Actiontec and was

impress with how easy it was to use and setup.
