Control4, a leading manufacturer of affordable IP-based home control and entertainment systems, has announced the new Control4 Home Controller HC-200. Considered as the first sub-$ 500 home controller, this new product was recently exhibited at CEDIA Expo 2008. The HC-200 Home Controller features an on-screen HD enhanced Control4 graphic interface. With this new product you get a SR 150 RF remote that helps you to control AV equipment, HVAC lighting and other systems. It sports a sleek and small design and supports Standard Ethernet and ZigBee communications. "We believe the HC-200 sets a new standard of affordability for home automation," said Will West, Chief Executive Officer of Control4. "The evolution of our Home Controller line highlights Control4’s commitment to providing flexible alternatives to fit the different needs of homeowners and in the case of the HC-200 will open the door to new customers who are ready for something more capable than a simple universal remote." The new Control4 Home Controller HC-200 will be ready for
shipping in November 2008 at a price of $ 499.

When you look at the specification of control4, it look very good compare to the competition. But when it is install, with all the features, it become an other stories. In my case, the system is unstable. The HC1000 from Control4 goes down one day every 7 days. So, if you have to rely on control4 for your house security, it very problematic. If you use Control4 for wake up (turn on the music and the lights of your bedroom) again it is of no use. The day, I need to be at the airport early, I can not rely on control4. I can not be in contact with Control4 support office. No, the support is to be offered by your dealer (that install and sold you the system). If you want to use Control4 for music distribution only, it is a good system. When Control4 goes down, I power on/off the HC1000 and in minutes, the system is back again. So, for other application then music, then I do not recommend it.
