Why goSmart?Why goSmart?

goSmart does not require a specific COM port number. The user can specify the COM port available in their machine.goSmart software is a multi user system.goSmart allows the user to add, delete or schedule devices within different zones in the house.goSmart will send an email to the owner upon any security breach detected by the motion sensor.goSmart will (in future versions) allow the use of Macros to control several devices at once.
