uControl's approach to the digital home is simple – maintain the most open, technology agnostic platform possible and make it accessible to multiple device manufacturers, content providers and other partners to help accelerate the adoption of SMA to the broadest reach of the available market.

Co-existing with multiple legacy alarm manufacturers combined with the ability to stand alone as a wireless alarm system opens up the SMA market for any service provider who chooses to deploy the uControl platform. Once in the home, the platform's open approach to home automation and sensor technologies allows your organization to fulfill the promise of home automation through incremental marketing campaigns. An "a la carte" offering of home controls ranging from thermostats and lighting to IP cameras give the mass market an opportunity to adopt the technology mix that fits best within individual lifestyles.

Another important facet of uControl's Ecosystem is the open, standards-based widget platform. Supporting both Flash and HTML widgets, this platform allows you to leverage internal resources and/or the existing widget development community to rapidly expand the universe of widgets you make available to your customers. The potential of services combining widgets, home automation devices and security sensor information has already created excitement within the uControl partner community. You can be assured that uControl will serve as a catalyst for innovation in digital home applications and continue to offer you simple, secure distribution processes so you can hand pick the best of the best for your customers.
