Lagotek Home Intelligence Platform (HIP) Version 3.3
Lagotek's version 3.3 of its Home Intelligence Platform allows home owners to control their Lagotek home system with their cell phone
Lagotek announced version 3.3 of its Home Intelligence Platform (HIP), which allows home owners to control their Lagotek home system with their cell phone. In addition to controlling the house, home owners can view what is going on in their homes from anywhere in the world.
Integration with Lagotek's new universal distribution device, the Lagotek HIP 25, and coupled with media browsing, makes it easy to distribute and access audio, provide infrared (IR) and RS232 control throughout the house over Ethernet. With added intercom functionality, control of irrigation systems, IR control for audio/video equipment, Mode editor capability, support for DSC security panels and RCS thermostats (both Z-Wave and RS-232), Lagotek provides compelling differentiation to both new construction and remodeling markets.
CEO of Lagotek Eugene Luskin states, "The features offered by version 3.3 make Lagotek's system one of the most advanced Home Automation solutions available today and its cell phone integration makes it stand out in the crowd. With its new functionality, Lagotek's Home Intelligence Platform provides the best value for the money. From home to home, community to community, automation will be in every home in the near future."
The new features in version 3.3 of Lagotek's Home Intelligence Platform provide home owners with a solution that integrates the best of home entertainment with the best of home control.
From a cell phone running Lagotek's Home Application, the home owner can execute Modes, view live footage from video cameras installed throughout the home, check the status of lighting and climate (i.e. the number of lights turned on and what the temperature is in different areas of the home), and receive Alerts powered by Rules.
Modes are user-defined macro presets that enable the home owner to create customized functionality scenarios so all home systems work together with a single touch of a button. For example, Modes such as "On my way home," "Arm my security system," "I am away," etc. can incorporate multiple functions to occur simultaneously such as arming the security system along with climate and lighting adjustments. Alerts can tell the home owner if there is a breach in security, or if the temperature in the house goes below a pre-set threshold.
The cell phone functionality solution has been developed in cooperation with Crayon Interface and is powered by Moshi server technology.
This universal distribution device primarily targets the new construction market and is the size of a typical two gang box which is wall mounted and can be chain linked using a standard Ethernet cable. This device has audio inputs and outputs both on the back and the front of the device. Additionally, it incorporates IR inputs and outputs, as well as an RS232 connection to control RS232 devices. This approach provides one product solution for multi-zone audio distribution and control.
Intercom functionality in Lagotek's Home Intelligence Platform offers the homeowner an extremely flexible communication solution. The homeowner can talk from one HIP100 wall mounted panel to another and communicate with PDA, UMPC and PC devices, video cameras (with built in microphone and speaker) and front door intercoms. This solution is integrated with the doorbell, and plays a "DoorTone" on every device in the home running the Lagotek system, allowing the homeowner to easily switch to the camera installed at the front door to talk to the visitor.
In addition to GE NX8E security panels, Lagotek's system now supports DSC security panels and offers a simplified user interface. Two large buttons that say "Arm Stay" and "Arm Away" display on the screen if the system is not armed, which makes it much easier for the homeowner to navigate the security system.
