ORLANDO - With today’s introduction of PowerHome2 beta software, seamless integration of competing home automation products is now a reality. The three most popular home automation protocols now can be used as one with PowerHome2.

David Howard, developer of PowerHome said, “My goal has always been to make home automation easy to use and available to everyone. But, there were always competing home automation devices requiring different automation software to run them in the home. Prior to PowerHome2 you were forced to choose between Insteon or UPB devices and hope you chose wisely. With PowerHome2 you can run Insteon, UPB and X-10 devices together, making automation of your home a lot simpler and making the choice of which protocol to use less important.”

Further, David Howard said, “I’ve included a new Quick Setup Wizard making it easier for a new PowerHome user to get the software up and running fast.”

Free upgrade? Now I feel even better for supporting the little guy. If I could still return my houselinc software to SH I would send the refund to Dave too!
It's well worth it.
 
It's good to see other solutions handling seamless inter-protocol operations. I use HCA and have depended on this feature to bridge X10 & UPB for several years now. When they added Insteon early in 2008 I was able to integrate a whole bunch of new devices. Once you switch on a UPB controlled light with an X10 hawkeye, or group UPB/x10/Insteon lights together (HCA actually times out the protocols so all devices in a mixed group activate simultaneously), you'll wonder how you lived without it...

Now if only Z-wave would get added...
