HomeVision Home Automation Systems
|
HomeVision® |
| Imagine controlling your entire home with a
hand-held remote while watching TV. View a complete system interface on your TV screen.
Or from a web browser anywhere in your home (or in
the world). Change the temperature of the AC system. Or even
reprogram the thermostat schedule. Have the name and phone number of
callers appear instantly on your TV. Arm your security system while viewing the status of each zone. Or close the
garage door you left open. Imagine changing your lighting schedule without getting up from
your chair. HomeVision®, HomeVision-Pro, and HomeVision-PC make all of this possible at an affordable price. They come complete, including PC software. Our original product, the HomeVision controller, brings together seven key home automation features in a single unit:
In addition to these built-in capabilities, you can add on telephone control and other features! HomeVision is a stand-alone automation controller that is initially configured with a PC. It can then be disconnected if desired. HomeVision constantly watches for any events you've specified, then performs whatever actions you've told it to do. Any event can trigger any other event(s). The possibilities are limited only by your imagination. HomeVision-PC has similar hardware interfaces as HomeVision at a lower cost, but requires the PC to be running with additional software. Finally, HomeVision-Pro integrates all of HomeVision's functions and adds even more, making it our most powerful and popular controller.

After more than 15 years selling the HomeVision line of home automation products, we’ve made the difficult decision to begin shutting down the business. We will sell our remaining small amount of inventory, but will not be producing more. We will continue to provide repair services for all products during the standard 3-year warranty period. We do not plan on making any software or firmware upgrades unless there’s a major bug, which is unlikely.
We’re selling the remaining inventory as follows for anyone interested in making a final purchase:
|
HomeVision board for $200. We have only a couple of completed boards remaining. We have some additional boards that lack the video chip for the TV display screens. This chip is obsolete and we probably can't obtain any more. Once the completed boards are gone, we will only be able to sell spare boards without the video chip for $190. Fortunately, there’s never been a failure of this chip, so if you want a backup board, you should be able to reuse your current video chip in the new board. | |
|
HomeVision-Serial for $70 without a case or $80 with a case. | |
|
HomeVision-Phone/Serial or HomeVision-Phone/CID with a case for $170. Note that we have only one of each left. |
