Lift off!
Here’s the package you need to launch yourself into the Indigo/INSTEON home automation world. Indigo was the first Mac based home automation software program for OS X and it was the first home automation program on any platform to provide full featured communications with the INSTEON PowerLinc V2 Controller.
INSTEON is rapidly establishing itself as the home automation standard for the future. It is a robust network that is much less susceptible than other home automation networks to the kind of interference and noise commonly encountered within the home – and, it’s super fast! If you have experienced the fickleness of X10, then INSTEON is definitely for you. If you’re tired of constantly moving and experimenting with the placement of BoosterLincs and FilterLincs to get that X10 lamp in the far bedroom to respond, then INSTEON is for you. Every INSTEON module is a repeater, and so unlike X10, your home automation network will only become stronger as more INSTEON modules are added.
This Indigo Starter Package (INSTEON Version) contains the foundational items you need to setup your basic INSTEON home automation network.
and it also contains the following two INSTEON modules for controlling appliances like fans, lamps, etc.:
The Linchpins of an INSTEON Network
The pair of AccessPoints modules in this package are the foundation of your INSTEON network. They simultaneously transmit and receive INSTEON power line and INSTEON RF commands. They are the INSTEON transceivers you need to pull in the INSTEON commands transmitted by the INSTEON RemoteLinc. When used as a pair, the AccessPoints also couple the two different electrical phases of your home giving you reliable coverage of all circuits in your house. Each AccessPoint also repeats INSTEON messages, adding to the network's robust reliability. AccessPoints use the reliable 900 Mhz band for good through-wall transmissions. (NOTE: the AccessPoints do NOT boost, interpret or repeat X10 commands.)
Bilingual
You’re probably considering this Indigo Starter Package because you’re a “newbie” to home automation. But, just in case you have X10 modules already installed and you’re looking for an opportunity to make an orderly transition to the protocol of the future - INSTEON - , you’re in luck. The tandem of Indigo 3.0 and the INSTEON PowerLinc Controller can manage a network of mixed X10 and INSTEON modules. You can then pick the rate that you migrate over to a complete INSTEON network as you retire your X10 modules.
If you want even more in your Indigo/INSTEON package, be sure and consider the Indigo Platinum Package (INSTEON Version).
Already Have Indigo?
If you already have Indigo, but are ready to get on the INSTEON bandwagon, be sure and consider the INSTEON Transition Package.
Warranty
All INSTEON modules carry a manufacturer warranty of 2 years.
