So just what can HCA control?

This is an important question and should be the most important one you have when choosing automation software.  While we all would like to live in a fully automated home, it takes a lot more than software to make that possible.  While the software can drive the process, it takes automation enabled switches to turn on the lights, it takes an automation enabled thermostat to control the HVAC, and it takes automation interfaces to allow the computer to put signals on the powerline and send IR.

All of these hardware items cost money.  Some are expensive and others are available for less.  But regardless of how much you spent on the hardware, unless you have automation software that can wring every drop of function out of the hardware you have wasted your money.

HCA was written to fully expose all the features of each hardware device you have.  For example, while most automation software can send the right powerline signals to control a PCS or SwitchLinc switch, HCA can also program it with stored scenes.  While some software can control an X10 thermostat, HCA can use all the communication modes available in the thermostat to make sure that your commands to change the setpoint are received and acted upon.

Take a minute to browse through the HCA world and see the great hardware available to complete your automation solution.  Each of these products paired with HCA will ensure your success.

I have been using HCA for over 7 years, since version 1. The development of version 7 has proven to be another worthwhile installment. The support for Insteon products, increased functionality and enhanced user interfaces has once again made HCA the best, most usable, most reliable, home automation software I have ever used.
