Home Control Assistant Client Android

Home Control Assistant Client

Mobile client to the Home Control Assistant Windows Application

Features & Capabilities

The Home Control Assistant is a full featured Home Automation application. This Android application is a client to the HCA Server running in your home. Using HCA you can control, program, and schedule lights and appliances using many popular automation protocols.

Unlike other home control systems, HCA is designed not to just control your home but also to program it. You don't need to accept the simple "control a device" from a distance offered by some automation solutions. Using HCA you can create an automation solution that responds to your needs by combining multiple device in complex scenarios involving events, time, location, state of the home, etc. These programs express your intent of how your installation should work.

In addition, you are not locked into an application that displays as it wants to. You can create the page structure you see when interacting with the HCA client on your mobile device. This can be configured on a device-by-device basis and on a user-by-user basis. For some users, the display can show a complete set of pages for each room. For other users it can display a smaller set of only selected devices. For the least technical users you can create a simple keypad like interface that offers only those actions you want to make available for them.

New in version 13: The HCA server contains facilities that work with the Amazon Alexa Connected Home system to allow voice control of device and programs.

In one inclusive package HCA provides for creation and operation of simple to complex automation designs. The top 20 feature list:

I have been using this program 15-20 years now. It is the best home automation program.

It works, but the UI is awful. Hasn't been refreshed in years. There is still no setting to automatically connect to your server when launched. At least the previous version had a large "Connect" button easily located, centered, near the bottom of the screen. Then, for some reason, they decided to make it tiny, and place it in the uppermost right corner - perfect for our large screen phones, right? C'mon, HCA, show this app some love.
