Essential Info

SmartLinc - INSTEON Central Controller is an affordable and flexible central controller perfect for enhancing any INSTEON home automation network.

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. SmartLinc 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 an added feature, SmartLinc includes IP camera support, giving you the versatility to incorporate watching and controlling your IP enabled surveillance cameras through you web-enabled interface. SmartLinc puts the power of managing your entire INSTEON home automation network in the palm of your hands.

  • More Info

    Ideal At-Home Control
    SmartLinc works in combination with your router and any mobile Wi-Fi or web-enabled device to control INSTEON devices within your home. Setup only requires a few easy steps to identify your network IP address and then type it into your PC or mobile device. After setup has been completed, you can start linking INSTEON lights and appliances and creating scenes that will make home life more convenient and energy efficient.
    Requirements:
  • Wi-Fi enabled phone or PDA
  • Wi-Fi router
  • PC connected to router

    Away from Home Control
    In much the same way as the At-Home setup works, while you are away from home you can access your INSTEON network using SmartLinc in conjunction with any internet connection or Wi-Fi hotspot. Simply identify your home’s IP address and type it into your mobile device, then you can turn devices on or off at anytime, from anywhere, with the same reliability as you would have at home.
    Requirements:
  • Broadband internet connection (at home)
  • Web-enabled phone, PDA or PC
  • Router with port forwarding configured
  • Static IP address OR dynamic DNS service
    Warning: Opening your firewall can potentially put your network at risk

    Timers
    Whether you are at-home or away from home, scheduling timers for devices on your INSTEON network is a valuable way to not only make your life easier but to manage the amount of energy consumption that is taking place. Timers can be set up from your PC or mobile device for one On time and one Off time for every scene in SmartLinc.

    Pre-Organized, User-Defined Rooms
    SmartLinc - INSTEON Central Controller takes remote access of your INSTEON home automation network a step further. It gives you the ability to apply unique names and labels for devices and scenes and then further organize those into rooms. By assigning your own naming convention, you define the simplicity of navigating your own network.

    User-Upgradeable Server Applications
    SmartLinc features user-upgradeable server applications which make adding functionality, device support or a new look and feel just a click away. Whenever a new server application comes out, simply download the file and load it into your SmartLinc. Download the html-only application version for compatibility with any web-browser.

    IP Camera Support
    SmartLinc - INSTEON Central Controller enables you access a network surveillance camera so that you can watch your home while you control it, all from a web-enabled device. Turn on your interior lights or your yard lights; and from the same screen watch it happen. This amazing feature has been tested with several Panasonic IP Cameras, sold separately, and consider it to be a valuable tool that integrates your home automation and security into one.

    iPhone and iPod touch Control
    If you already have an iPhone or iPod touch and a Wi-Fi router, SmartLinc is all you need to start controlling all of your INSTEON devices. Smarthome engineers created an interface that has been optimized to take full advantage of the power within the iPhone and iPod touch. Quality graphics and quick response make these products ideal as an INSTEON remote control touch screen.

    Don't Block your Outlets
    SmartLinc - INSTEON Central Controller includes Smarthome's innovative pass-through AC outlet on the front of the unit. This outlet allows you to plug in additional AC devices without affecting the SmartLinc. While the outlet doesn't have any control features, it really helps against "power strip buildup."

    Certifications and Warranty
    SmartLinc products are safety approved. The factory for SmartLabs Design Products is ISO9001 certified. Because of this passion for quality, Smarthome stands behind the entire SwitchLinc line of products with a full 2-year warranty.

    Non-Volatile Memory & Battery Backup
    SmartLinc has internal intelligence to control your home without a computer running a full-time automation program. You'll be able to set up schedules directly on your PC, yet the settings are stored on the plug-in module, so you won't have to keep your PC running to activate timed functions. SmartLinc - INSTEON Central Controller has 32KB of downloadable EEPROM memory that won't be erased if the power fails. An on-board clock keeps accurate time, all the time, with integrated 10-year battery backup.
