Intelligent Monitoring, Control and Automation (iMCA) Controller is a specialized system that enables you to monitor, control and automate virtually anything from anywhere, seamlessly integrating with different automation technologies, switching, remote terminal, power/energy metering and sensing units and devices as well as Distributed Control Systems (DCS) and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC). In more elaborate language, it can be described as a universal, rapidly deployable, scalable, service oriented, cross platform middleware framework (simply think of this as just a "black box" attached to a computer network) with a powerful, friendly Graphic User Interface for enabling IP-based monitoring, control and automation of all types of environments - residential, commercial, industrial and scientific.
iMCA Controller are part of the iMCA System, a major distinguishing point of which is that it does not focus on any particular vendor or automation protocol or deployment methodology, but rather supports an ever-increasing list of best of breed switching and sensing elements and devices as they come onto the market. This gives the user incredible flexibility in mixing, matching and combining these devices to deliver a cross-technology, no-compromise, retro-fit-capable and indeed fit-for-purpose solution. A superior, universal and cost-effective monitoring, control and automation solution accessible equally to technology enthusiasts, early adopters, early majority consumers and experienced market niche players.
Even though the iMCA System is "customer-needs-centric" rather than a product of "technology enforcement" by a particular vendor, it provides the perfect integration bridge between different automation technologies and standards, enabling not only the seamless use of all manner of devices by the customer, but also unlocking the true potential and power of these devices, which often remains unexploited because of the complexities encountered in both installation and support when trying to get an otherwise great unit to "play properly with others" in the real world.
The iMCA System has been developed in compliance with the best enterprise-level architectural principles of system design and performance, enabling scalability, modularity, interoperability and operational reliability. At the same time, it encapsulates the attributes of the best consumer-level products; being innovative, self-contained, self-manageable, unobtrusive, honest, understandable and easy to use.
The system can be rapidly deployed and gives you the ability to make different devices and sensors talk to each other, 
literally converting these separate systems into one flexible and easy to manage infrastructure. It simplifies your life as a user or as a system integrator, by tying together and automating all aspects of minor and major electromechanical appliances of a home or business.
You can use it to monitor, control and automate lighting, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, alarms, CCTV, doors, gates, windows, blinds, curtains, shutters, home entertainment, watering and irrigation, and lot more.
Use your mobile device to open a window, close a curtain, turn off lights, activate the air conditioning, turn on the stereo or flick a TV channel, while automating any or all of these according to time or an event, to suit your lifestyle or business requirements.
Consolidate control and monitoring of multiple physical locations (principal residence, business, holiday house, data facilities) through a single user interface from any PC, or from a wide range of Smart Phones, hand held and touch screen devices.
The iMCA Software is usually delivered to the end user as entirely self managed, "plug-and-play", "turn-key" small foot print embedded PC box (iMCA Controller™) or as a pre-installed and configured iMCA Server™ in form of VMware Virtualized downloadable package or CF II Flash Card.
This solution is for you if you are:
A technology enthusiast or anyone keen to harness innovative and compelling technology to really improve the way you live, work and play.
-
An automation integrator or service provider in the business of deploying cost-effective automation solutions that are easy to install, integrate, modify and maintain. You can even build hosting based solutions for your customers and back to base monitoring renewable services based on this system.
A device manufacturer interested in an access and control interface for your hardware which will truly unlock its functionality and potential
Whether you are looking to complete a small DIY (do it yourself) or SCADA(Supervisory for Control And Data Acquisition) project, enhance already installed but limited automation technology, or, create a full-scale integrated solution, the iMCA Controller is ideal for achieving your goals and limited only by the imagination.......
You arrive home and the lights come on, the door unlocks and curtains open or close up upon daytime lighting conditions.
On a hot day, your blinds automatically close and fans cool the house before your air conditioner comes on (and only if the temperature reaches the threshold set by you), reducing your electricity bill.
You use your cell phone to check if you left the garage door open, and remotely close it if you did.
Your cell phone receives a text message if there is water in the basement or your house has a power outage.
You use your cell phone to not just control or monitor your own house, but also holiday house, farm, office or business premise and all the information is presented to you in a consolidated fashion from any or all of these locations on your mobile device, including an unlimited number of real time images updated by motion detection CCTV cameras.

If You already have some sort of home or building automation network (X10, A10, Insteon, Xanura, C-Bus, PulseWorx UPB, Elk/Ness M1), but lack true (!) remote control and extensive automation options, and you feel you are held back from unlocking the real power of what you have already invested in, our system is for you!
These are just a few of the scenarios that become possible when everything that is plugged in the building can share information on a network, and the one reliable, affordable, universal and portable web-based control center is aware of the state of all participating switches and sensors at all times, allowing you to seamlessly manage and orchestrate all the connected devices/appliances.
