Simple Control is a sophisticated app-based control system for home theater and home automation that uses Wi-Fi to control thousands of devices like TVs, cable/satellite boxes, receivers, Blu-ray players, lights and thermostats.

Simple Control features the broadest network control of AV and home devices. Taking full advantage of two way IP control for AV devices like TiVo, DISH, and DirecTV, deep integration with home devices such as Nest, Honeywell, Ecobee, SmartThings, and our prioneering support of Amazon Echo Voice Control have catapulted the product into a unique position providing a central control system for the myriad of products integrators deploy in today's home.

This Summer, Simple Control introduced Remote Management, Multiple Home Support with Remote Access, and permission support allowing integrators to remotely service deployments at customer sites while homeowners can now provide permission based control of their homes to guests.

Starting as a DIY App Store product in 2011 provided a foundation for Simple Control that forced us to specialize in ease of use and broad IP control from the beginning. Later expanding to the integrator market, decades of cryptography and security experience have been applied to our products. As security is increasingly becoming a top issue, Simple Control provides a strong cryptographic layer of authentication and encryption for control of the home.
