Bedford, NH, December 18, 2007 –– Cooper Wiring Devices targets professional integrators and installers with the release of its new ASPIRE RF™ USB-PRO kit. The new kit combines Cooper Wiring Devices’ professional grade Z-Wave® USB interface with a specially engineered version of HomeSeer’s popular HS2™ home automation software. The kit unlocks the full potential of the company’s ASPIRE RF line by adding advanced automation functions and by providing seamless integration of lighting, HVAC, security, irrigation and home entertainment systems.
