Indigo est une application de gestion domotique qui fonctionne sur Macintosh. Indigo comprend tous les services nécessaires à la gestion complète d'une maison "domotisée" : contrôle X10, éclairage, arrosage, programmation dans le temps, macros, etc.
Indigo a la particularité d'être pilotable en Bluetooth avec un PDA ou un téléphone portable. Cette possibilité est intéressante dans le cas où l'on se sert d'Indigo pour gêrer sa bibliothèque iTunes. On peut alors contrôler avec son PDA, par exemple, la diffusion de la musique où que l'on se trouve dans la maison. With Indigo you can:
- Remotely control lights, fans, appliances, thermostats, sprinkler systems, etc., from your iPhone or iPod touch using Indigo Touch, from any Web browser and from a variety of handheld remote controls.
- Incorporate motion detectors to turn on lights or other devices, or even to detect the direction someone is walking.
- Automatically send emails based on events, like power failure or motion detection.
- Automatically turn on landscape or holiday lighting at sunset and off at sunrise.
- Create different lighting scenes, for example “Party,” “Movie,” “Sleeping,” “Away,” for perfect multi-room lighting levels at the touch of a button.
How does it work (what is X10)?
Indigo communicates with X10 compatible devices, such as light switch modules and appliance modules, to both control your home and get the status of devices in your home (motion detectors, light status, etc.). X10 compatible devices use your existing home wiring to communicate. You do not have to run any new wires! More about how X10 works is available here.
To communicate to X10 compatible devices Indigo interfaces with the CM15 Pro Controller.
About Indigo
Indigo was developed from the ground up to be a robust, Mac OS X native, home control server. Mac OS X, with its preemptive multi-tasking and protected memory, makes for an outstanding home control operating system. When idle, Indigo uses a very small percentage of your computer's CPU cycles. This means you will not have any problems running Indigo in the background while you use your computer to do other tasks.
Indigo's intuitive user interface allows you to create complex actions without complex scripting languages. And for users comfortable with AppleScript, Indigo provides a thorough and powerful AppleScript object model and dozens of AppleScript verbs. System Requirements
- Mac with either an Intel or PowerPC G5 or G4 (867 MHz or higher) processor, and Mac OS X 10.5.8 or higher (Lion Compatible)
- X10 Interface (CM11 USB or CM15Pro)
Note: If you do not have the required hardware, you can still use the software in offline mode. Pour contrôler vos modules X10, l'ordinateur doit resté allumé 24H/24H.
