The wireless network created by Xabler provides the ability to control hard-wired lighting and automation systems, as well as devices normally attached to a computer network. The backbone is established by a dedicated server and a network of wireless devices placed throughout the structure to provide control. The Xabler software interprets and converts proprietary home automation commands from the existing system and translates them into commands that can be interpreted easily by any Internet browser. Devices with the ability to use an HTML-based Internet browser can be utilized as access points on the Xabler wireless network and installation of the Xabler system is completed in under an hour. Homeowners receive a dual benefit from the Xabler system: wireless and Internet control of bulky and confusing hard-wired control systems and the establishment of a home computer network for sharing Internet connections, business data, and home system information. The Xabler system also provides a simple solution for integrating several control systems with multiple communication protocols into one language. Xabler Controls has also formed partnerships with hardware manufacturers to redistribute wireless products that are pre-imaged with the Xabler control software such as Webtablets and handheld computers. Currently, Xabler supports all programming conversions and commands from the Vantage Lighting Control and Automation system. Conversions for Lutron HomeWorks Interactive and other manufacturers will be available towards the 3rd and 4th quarters of 2002. Custom interfaces are available upon request. # # # Xabler Controls was founded in January of 2001 to meet the growing need of Wireless and Internet control in home automation.
