Timers
Whether you are at-home or away from home, scheduling timers for devices on your INSTEON network is a valuable way to not only make your life easier but to manage the amount of energy consumption that is taking place. Timers can be set up from your PC or mobile device for
one On time and one Off time for every scene in SmartLinc.
Pre-Organized, User-Defined Rooms
SmartLinc - INSTEON Central Controller takes remote access of your INSTEON home automation network a step further.

By assigning your own naming convention, you define the simplicity of navigating your own network.
User-Upgradeable Server Applications
SmartLinc features user-upgradeable server applications which make adding functionality, device support or a new look and feel just a click away. Whenever a new server application comes out, simply download the file and load it into your SmartLinc. Download the html-only application version for compatibility with any web-browser.
IP Camera Support
SmartLinc - INSTEON Central Controller enables you access a network surveillance camera so that you can watch your home while you control it, all from a web-enabled device. Turn on your interior lights or your yard lights; and from the same screen watch it happen. This amazing feature has been tested with several Panasonic IP Cameras, sold separately, and consider it to be a valuable tool that integrates your home automation and security into one.
iPhone and iPod touch Control
If you already have an iPhone or iPod touch and a Wi-Fi router, SmartLinc is all you need to start controlling all of your INSTEON devices. Smarthome engineers created an interface that has been optimized to take full advantage of the power within the iPhone and iPod touch. Quality graphics and quick response make these products ideal as an INSTEON remote control touch screen.
Non-Volatile Memory & Battery Backup
SmartLinc has internal intelligence to control your home without a computer running a full-time automation program. You'll be able to set up schedules directly on your PC, yet the settings are stored on the plug-in module,
so you won't have to keep your PC running to activate timed functions. SmartLinc - INSTEON Central Controller has 32KB of downloadable EEPROM memory that won't be erased if the power fails. An on-board clock keeps accurate time, all the time, with integrated 10-year battery backup.
