New Accessories for HomeVision

We’re pleased to announce that we are adding three new accessories to our HomeVision home automation product line. These add the most requested features which HomeVision lacks: additional serial ports and a phone interface. They can easily be added on to an existing system. They are now in the final design phase and should be available in the first quarter of next year. We'll provide more information as we get closer to releasing them. The products are:

HomeVision-Serial

- Adds an additional serial port
- Supports baud rates of 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, and 19200
- Has all the capabilities of the built-in serial port
- Connects to HomeVision through the expansion board connector (expansion boards can still be used)
- Up to two can be connected to HomeVision (giving three serial ports total)

HomeVision-Phone

- Receives touch-tone (DTMF) inputs from any phone inside or outside the home
- Any sequence of tones from a user can trigger any action(s)
- Tone numbers can be placed into variables so the user can enter numbers like temperature settings
- Can transmit touch-tones to user to confirm actions or report other conditions
- Detects and counts phone rings
- Detects on-hook and off-hook conditions
- Connects to HomeVision through the expansion board connector (expansion boards can still be used)
