Introduction
The HomeTroller™ is a hardware-based home automation controller designed to incorporate all
the power and flexibility of HomeSeer HS2 software into a very compact, rugged, and easy-to-
install unit. The HomeTroller is designed to control lighting, appliances, security, HVAC, and
infrared (IR) devices, such as home theatre equipment. Since the HomeTroller is an open
standards system, the system can be integrated with numerous technologies from scores of
industry leaders, such as Zensys, Lutron, Leviton, Intermatic, Lightolier®, HAI, Global Caché
and many more.
An open Application Program Interface (API) is included for programmers to add support for just
about any custom or proprietary systems that may be required.
This system uses HSProtect™ technology to protect the operating system on the hard disk.
You must read and understand how HSProtect works in order to operate the system
properly. See the section on HSProtect for more information.
