Shion 2.1.0b5 - Remote control driver and software for the SmartHome PowerLinc USB. (Demo)

Shion puts control of your home (and other environments) in your fingertips by allowing you to monitor and control lamps, appliances, and other devices using your Mac with modern and legacy home automation technologies. Favorite environment settings may be saved as snapshots and these may be bound to events such as sunrise & sunset, remote control presses, and prescheduled times.

Designed to be simple and powerful, Shion is the home automation program built for the rest of us. Its intuitive interface allows you to get up and running with a minimal amount of configuration and input. For more advanced users, it provides a complete AppleScript interface that allows the program to be easily incorporated into existing configurations.

Shion is free for use with three (3) or fewer controllable devices. To use Shion with larger configurations, you may purchase a license for $35 (USD).

WHAT'S NEW

Version 2.1.0b5:

• The PowerLinc USB code has been updated to be more reliable. Controller lock-ups were an issue with previous releases, and this update improves that situation. This code is still being tuned, so your command latency may increase with this release.
• Shion now supports the Smarthome SmartLinc 2414N controller.
• Sprinkler support remains incomplete, but support for activating zones through AppleScript is now available. Additional device support has been added to the AppleScript dictionary (houses & thermostats).
• Shion now supports Caller ID events when used with a compatible modem. Currently, Shion has been tested with an Apple USB modem.

REQUIREMENTS

• Mac OS X 10.4 or later
• SmartHome PowerLinc USB
• CM11A or CM15A X10 controllers
