Embedded Web Server For Comfort Home Automation
Cytech has introduced two new products for its flagship Comfort Home Automation and Security System – A new Embedded Web Server and a GSM Module: The CWM02 embedded Comfort Web Server Module, allows the user to access his lighting, security and home appliances on the Internet, using a browser. The layout of the home or office can be displayed with icons for lights, air-conditioners, heaters, doors, windows, motion detectors and cameras. The display of the icons changes in real time, according to their state at that time. When doors and windows are opened, or lights and air-conditioners are switched on or off, this can be seen on the browser screen. Clicking on the icons will switch the appliances and lights on or off. Cameras can be installed in the property to allow the user to view remotely through the Internet. Communication through the Internet is encrypted using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) technology. Unlike some other Internet access systems the CWM02 is an embedded Linux system, which works without the need for a computer acting as a host or server.
The CWM02 and UCM/GSM2 are available through Cytech’s distributors around the world.
The Comfort Intelligent Home System is an integrated Intruder Alarm and Home Automation system. For details visit:
