CEBus Home Automation Controller and Programming Kit

Suitable for new and retrofit installations, DSC CEBus« products integrate seamlessly with Escort-compatible DSC PowerSeries security systems for the easy and reliable inter-connection and control of multiple consumer electronics products, including lights, appliances, thermostats and sensors located throughout the home.

The CEBus interface to the system is the HS-HC8000 Home Automation Controller, which works in conjunction with DSC's Escort or CommuniquT VPM and the HS-HC8500 programming kit. Consumers can now control CEBus devices at home or from any Touch-ToneÖ telephone practically anywhere in the world.

Programming and control methods for the Escort and VPM modules remain the same, allowing for quick retrofits of existing X-10 systems. Never has it been easier to create home automation scenarios based on security system events than with the revolutionary HS-HC8500 Programming Kit. The kit contains a CEBus modem and software to easily enroll and program CEBus home automation modules through a very simple point and click interface. Modules are directly programmed to react to security system events such as arming, disarming and PGM outputs, in addition to standard features available through the Escort or VPM.
