A new software with a variety of cool features has been introduced recently:

Supports multiple technologies (currently Zwave, Insteon, and especially X10). HomeZIX enables automation features from different technologies working together to achieve broader functionality for your home automation.

Easy to use. Simply drag-and-drop automation components on top of your house's floor plan to build your automation network.

Interactive and intuitive. Device status and control are visual and interactive. User can also customize appearance of devices.

Supports IP web-based cameras. Populate unlimited numbers of IP web-based camera throughout the house to see what is going on in real-time.

Simple and Intuitive Zwave thermostat scheduling. Easily create multiple set-points to maximize the comfort of your home.

Virtual devices. HomeZIX introduces virtual switches and dimmers which provide greater flexibility to work with multiple devices.

Multiple and Independent Scripts. HomeZIX supports multiple scripts. Each one can run independently to control a specific task.

Especially, powerful advanced scripting capability. HomeZIX includes everything to compose, compile and run automation logic in C#, VB, the most powerful and popular programming languages. HomeZIX also makes it simple enough so that you don't have to know all about C#, VB programming. With just a few simple lines of code, you can create very sophisticated control automation. For X10, you can utilize AHP SDK to program easily your ultimate macros.

Everyone can download free trial here http://www.automationvista.com/Default.aspx

Furthermore, everyone can access to http://www.automationvista.com/Board/Default.aspx to discuss about X10 devices, macro programming and much more interesting things.

I downloaded HomeXIX and was able to install some basic x10 modules, but I was unable to install my x10 cameras. Can you use x10 cameras with your software? If the inability to use x10 cameras is due to the fact that I have a trial download, then that will inhibit me or anyone else from properly test driving your new product. I did like the idea of importing the house blueprint graphics file and adding modules according to their location. I have a CM15A interface that does work with HomeZIX.

Hi philliec,

Thank you for your interest in HomeZix . In this trial version, we did not include X10 cameras. However, we are developing and certainly will support X10 cameras in the near future.

About creating house blueprint, it is one of our key ideas while we develop home control software. You can access to this http://www.automationvista.com/Board/ShowForum.aspx?Forum=8 to investigate more external tools that help you create exciting floor plan.

If you have any more suggest or guidance, please post in forum http://www.automationvista.com/Board/Default.aspx

Thank you

Hi philliec,

HomeZix has included X10 cameras, you should download the new HomeZix at http://www.automationvista.com. Before using HomeZix with X10 cameras, you should install driver for USB video capture like VA11A. HomeZix does not include driver for it.

Best regards,
