Xabler 2.0 delivers a truly versatile IP-enabled interface. Using a touchscreen, computer or any web-enabled device, users can control multiple brands of lighting, security and audio/video equipment from the couch—or across the globe. Because Xabler 2.0 is Linux-based, it’s more reliable and secure. Yet Linux knowledge is not needed to configure or use the software. Everything is configured through a standard web browser. Streaming video and MP3 music can also be controlled by the software. Version 2.0 also allows user interfaces to be designed with any program: Flash, Dreamweaver, etc. Pre-designed templates are also available for dealers to quickly customize an interface for their customers. IR and RS232 macros can be easily created to control audio/video equipment and home theaters. Xabler 2.0 is a quick and complete software/hardware solution. In fact, many manufacturers’ files can be automatically converted to create a user interface in just seconds. After installing the Xabler server (a Linux-based system), users can access and control the interface through any standard web browser. Touchscreens are also available from Xabler. In addition to being an affordable solution for add-on control, installers and homeowners also have the option of expanding Xabler by adding any 802.11b wireless device or Ethernet appliance. # # # About Xabler: Xabler was founded in January of 2001 to meet the growing need of IP-enabled and Internet controlled home automation systems.
