Looks like Smarthome is starting to crank out new Insteon products. Their newest is the NetLinc. The NetLink looks like a one of the computer interface or LampLinc wall warts. Instead of hooking up to your computer connects directly to your router via a ethernet port. It has basic timer support, device naming, IP camera support and a user upgradable web server. It’s basically a mini computer with basic control features. The description from Smarthome:
NetLinc – INSTEON Central Controller is an affordable and flexible central controller perfect for enhancing any INSTEON home automation network. NetLinc integrates INSTEON technology with any web-enabled mobile device through Wi-Fi and cellular communication, allowing you to control or create timers for INSTEON devices or scenes from inside your home, in the backyard, at work, in the car or on vacation halfway around the world! Whether you are a DIYer, an electrician, or a home automation integrator, you will enjoy the ease with which programming and discovering of INSTEON devices is accomplished. A simple plug-in installation sets up in minutes and will allow a web-enabled phone or PDA to control your INSTEON network from almost anywhere. NetLinc has been designed for optimal use with an iPhone or iPod Touch as a mobile touch screen; however, there are customizable user-downloadable server applications that provide a flexible interface for any web-enabled device. As and added feature, NetLinc includes IP camera support, giving you the versatility to incorporate watching and controlling your IP enabled surveillance cameras through you web-enabled interface. NetLinc puts the power of managing your entire INSTEON home automation network in the palm of your hands.
According to their website ”For a limited time, each kit will feature discounted INSTEON products and a free iPod Touch”. Wow, and the NetLinc is only $119 (Available 08/15/08).
Smarthome is also offering two starter kits.
