Home Control Server

A Dashboard For Your Home

Securely accessible from within your home or anywhere in the world, the home control server creates a dashboard for all the devices you ask it to control. Whether it's lights, heating, scenes or security, it all comes together on one simple to use web based interface that is touch screen and mobile phone compatible.

The server can sit at the heart of the near limitless solutions that Z~Series power. Follow the link for more.

Secure Internet & Phone Gateway

Home away from home finally has meaning with the home control server. Access your home's dashboard to control and view all your appliances, lights, cameras... anything that you've set it up to control. And you can do it securely from any Internet connected computer or mobile phone including the iPhone web app, Windows Mobile, Android or a Blackberry.

Complete Z-Wave Home Automation

From scheduling to intelligent actions right through to precise control, the home control server acts as a server to the the Z-Wave components of Z~Series for a level of home control and automation previously unaccessible. Create one touch scenes from 'Entertainment' to 'Everything Off', implement timers, and import live data (such as the weather) to create a house that perfectly suits your needs while always making convenience and comfort a priority.

The server works with all of the Z-Wave products that are a part of Z~Series. To control and schedule them it'll require the Z-Wave USB controller, which is available separately, in the Z~Series starter kits or with the server (below).

Free iPhone App

While the server has it's own inbuilt iPhone interface there's also an iPhone app available that can interface with the server. After interfacing with your server you'll be able to control your Z-Wave devices and schedules from your iPhone and iPod Touch, as well view any security cameras that the server can see. The free and advanced versions of the Z-Wave iPhone app are available from the iTunes store.

Quick, Easy Setup

It's our mission for Z~Series to be simplicity personified, and the home control server keeps that in mind.

For most homes with an Internet connection, the initial set up process is as simple plugging the server into a power point, opening a web browser, and pointing it towards the provided set up address.

Energy Saving

Given that it can be set up to control every piece of electronic equipment in your home, it should come as no surprise that the Z~Series server can also be used to save money. And all for only approximately $2 a month in energy use. To find out more, read the energy saving Z~Series solution.

Security

Able to control and make accessible a number of security features, including a number of security cameras, the home security server can be expanded to control and monitor everything from your locks to your windows. It's also able to SMS and e-mail you should something happen in your house, and keep an archive of your security camera's footage through a US$29 per year security service offered by the manufacturers.

Dedicated Support & Assistance

While Z~Series has been designed to be easy to set up that doesn't that you won't have questions. And when it comes to the Z-Wave server those questions, no matter how basic or technical, are answered by a dedicated team - and it's the same team who designed the Vera software, so you'll be in great hands. Support includes e-mail, a detailed online manual and forum support meaning an answer is never more than a few clicks away. As a bonus, the Vera forums also provide a great source for understanding how other users are using their system and went about setting it up.
