SmartLabs Introduces NetLinc - INSTEON Central Controller: Turns iPhone into a Home Automation Touch Screen

IRVINE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
SmartLabs, Inc. announces the release of NetLinc, a plug-in web
server that puts the power of controlling an INSTEON home automation
network in the palm of your hand. This revolutionary new product
allows communication from an iPhone, iPod touch, the internet or any
mobile Wi-Fi / web-enabled PDA or cell phone to remotely control and
set timers for INSTEON devices.

   There is almost no limit to what you can control with INSTEON.
NetLinc takes that a step further, offering the power of INSTEON
control from anywhere inside or outside your home. You can control or
set timers for any device or scene on your INSTEON network while
relaxing on the couch, entertaining in the backyard, at work, or on
vacation. "NetLinc is the most affordable Internet-enabled web server
for home automation to hit the market," says Laurie Maroni, Vice
President of Marketing at SmartLabs. "It can be used with virtually
any web browser, but when you pair it up with an iPhone or iPod Touch
you end up with an unbelievably beautiful touch screen experience at a
fraction of the price of other proprietary solutions."

   Smarthome is featuring NetLinc as part of four different
whole-house INSTEON kits, all at a discounted price. Kits will feature
Best Sellers, Energy Savers, New Products, and even a customized Build
Your Own Kit. For limited time only, a free iPod Touch will also be
included with the purchase of a kit.

   INSTEON home automation technology provides customized control and
communication of lighting and appliances throughout the interior and
exterior of a home. INSTEON products let you create a network of
controlled devices and scenes that make life convenient, fun and
energy efficient.
