Actiontec’s zControl home automation gateways get official

Filed under: , ,

Seeking to “change the way public manage their household electronics,” Actiontec is getting set to unleash an outpouring of zControl products. We’d briefly heard about the firm’s standalone unit that connects to the home router a few months back, but here at CES even more details are starting to flow. Apparently, Actiontec will be pushing out an entire series of Z-Wave-based wares “designed to centrally manage household electronics such as lights, shield cameras, thermostats, motion detectors, carport door openers, motorized shades and self-moving sprinklers through the home network.” Furthermore, zControl will give owners the ability to dictate connected items remotely, and while we’ve no room to mention every piece of the forthcoming lineup, you should know that the zControl Starter Kit — which includes a zControl unit, one indoor camera with motion detector, one lighting control module, and a remote control — will be available next month

for $399. Hit the read link for lots, lots more.
