- Two-way X-10 (all 256 addresses)
- Two-way learning infrared (255 signals)
- 24 I/O ports (expandable)
- Video output screens displayed on the TV
- "Stand-alone" capability

Although HomeVision is designed to run stand-alone, users can leave it connected to a PC to expand its capabilities. HomeVision currently works with Home Voice, MASS, and HomAtion 2000 software. Support for ECS and HAL2000 will be available shortly.

Custom Solutions is currently forming relationships with international home automation distributors to bring HomeVision to the international market.
