Info
The Serial INSTEON PowerLinc Modem
is a serial-based home automation interface that allows PC- and hardware-based
automation controllers to control INSTEON-compatible lights, appliances,
heating/air conditioning systems and alarm systems directly via the INSTEON
network. This home automation interface uses simple RS-232 commands, allowing
any device with a programmable serial port to send INSTEON commands easily,
making controllers such as SimpleHomeNet's and Universal Devices' IP bridges
instantly INSTEON compatible. The dual-band interface sends and receives both
powerline and radio frequency (RF) INSTEON signals, so it doubles as an Access
Point. This makes it ideal for new INSTEON installs and if have or plan to use
an RF-only INSTEON-compatible remote, thermostat, motion sensor and contact
sensor. The RF signal can bypass electrical noise or attenuation near the PC
and it pulls many of the "distant" INSTEON devices one hop closer,
which can expand the size of potential installations into even larger homes and
commercial buildings.
New features as compared to the PowerLinc - INSTEON Modem, Serial
Built-in Dual-Band with RF function, acts like an Access
Point for phase bridging and RF to/from power line
1023 links (compared to around 800 links previously)
Added a beep sounder
Red/Green LED light
Supports faster reading and writing of the PLM's
database by another controller
Much lighter weight
No pass-through outlet
Please Note: The controller connected to the Serial INSTEON PowerLinc
Modem must remain powered on and running the controller program connected to
the controller or host at all times of usage. Additionally, the dual-band
interface does not supply power to external devices (previous versions 2412S
and 2412U do)
