Electronic House Expo ORLANDO, Fla. – March 29, 2006 – The INSTEON™ Alliance announced today that SUPERNA has joined its growing association of companies adopting the INSTEON wireless home control technology. The INSTEON Alliance consists of more than 700 member companies and developers that are implementing the INSTEON wireless home control technology that leverages the powerline into their consumer electronics devices.

SUPERNA is the first home automation company to fully leverage standard IP home networks, enabling consumers to connect new or legacy electronic devices to their home computer network for delivery of digital audio/visual content, lighting and HVAC control to any room in the house. SUPERNA’s desktop software provides easy configuration, management and personalized interface generation. Its easy-to-use ConfigNet software will support the INSTEON protocol enabling users to create and manage a stand-alone INSTEON network, or have INSTEON products part of its full home control and automation solution.

“Companies such as SUPERNA are seeing the inherent benefits of affordability, reliability and simplicity in our home networking protocol,” says Ken Fairbanks, vice president of sales and business development at SmartLabs Inc., the innovators of INSTEON. “We are pleased that so many companies are integrating INSTEON to make any electronic device part of the home network.”

“We are very excited about joining the INSTEON Alliance. At SUPERNA, we are fully committed to supporting affordable standards-based products which bring more freedom of choice to the customer and will result in broader adoption of home technologies,” says Oded Vardi, SUPERNA’s COO.
