"CEBox is a powerful enabler for the CEBus/Home Plug & Play development community" said Evan Price, President of Domosys Corporation. "We were the first company in the control networks industry to recognize that quality development tools offered at low prices were a condition for market growth. CEBox v2.1 is a demonstration of our continued commitment to this vision."

The CEBox Software Development System is also offered in a package of tools, known as the HeadStart Suite, which includes the CETester Tool, the CEBoard prototyping board and the CECom power line modem.
