While traditional smart home technology has been expensive, complicated, and often unreliable, ControlThink changes all that. With this budget-priced innovative software on your PC, you can leverage your existing computer investment to set up, configure, and control your smart home with ease.

Includes Thinkessential software, USB Thinkstick 1 Zwave Lamp Module!

And with built-in scheduler functionality, you can make your home appear lived in while you're not there, enhance security by turning on outside lights at sunset, and save energy by turning them back off again at midnight. There are many features cleverly implemented in this deceptively simple program.

Free update is available to version 2.1 when it becomes available for users of Professional Edition.
Features:

Set up your Z-Wave� enabled home
Control and configure your devices
Create and activate mood lighting (and scenes)
Put your home on a schedule
Optimize, repair, and recover Z-Wave networks (Professional Edition Feature)
Detect network weak spots and bad devices (Professional Edition Feature)
MSet up your Z-Wave� enabled home

Draw a basic floorplan of your home with ease. Then, if you have a notebook computer, simply click on the "Add Device" button, walk over to the Z-Wave device you want to add, and then press its button. Its icon will immediately show up on-screen. You can add more any time.

If you are using a desktop PC, set up your network of Z-Wave devices with a Z-Wave remote control--and then add your computer just like any other device. It's really that simple!




Control and configure your devices

Once you have added devices to your network, simply click on one to turn it on and off. For advanced options, just hold the mouse down for a second. You can dim lights, remove broken devices from the system, and much more.

Some Z-Wave devices have enhanced features, like the ability to adjust their default dimming rates. ThinkEssentials gives you full control over all the basic settings--and many not-so-basic ones.




Create and activate mood lighting (and scenes)

Set up a lighting scene for your home theatre--to dim the lights when you start a movie. Or create mood lighting for those romantic evenings when you want to stay home.

Scenes are a combination of mood lighting and recorded levels and settings in other Z-Wave devices. As an example, you could create a movie scene that closes the curtains, dims the lights, and turns off the air conditioner. The possibilities are limitless.




Put your home on a schedule

Rather than wasting energy leaving exterior lights on all night long, simply schedule groups of devices to turn on or off at various times of the day, on one or more days of the week.

A smart, built-in astronomic clock keeps track of the changing sunrise and sunset times, so you can just set it up and forget about it. Plus, you can put your computer to sleep and ThinkEssentials will wake it up when it's time to activate a scheduled event. Smart!
