New Home Automation App for Windows 8 and Micasaverde Vera

One of our favourite developers Martin Millmore of Millesoft has been busy lately, Ian recently wrote about a new Tunerfree app for Windows 8 and Windows RT now Martin has released a Windows 8 & Windows RT app for Vera Home Automation called Home Controller.
You can see the app on the Microsoft site here.

For those of you that don’t know Vera and VeraLite are low powered router type devices which act as the primary controller for your Z-wave Home Automation devices. The one user interface that has been missing for Vera is a Windows desktop application. Home Controller has a free 7 day trial and is priced at $5.99.

You can find the thread on the Micasaverde forum for Home Controller here. Which is where you should post your feedback.

Millesoft also have a Home Automation add-in for Windows Media Center called Power Controller MCE.
