Controlling lights and
appliances has never been easier. Using ActiveHome, you can control lights
and appliances in three ways: ActiveHome uses a built-in scheduler to
control any device in your home at times you specify. ActiveHome's
scheduling capability is flexible, so you can vary the times that lights
and appliances turn on or off to make your home look lived-in. Scheduling
light and appliance activity with ActiveHome can even help you manage
your energy consumption.
You can easily use a remote control
to activate individual devices in your home -- or with the
Routine Feature, groups of devices. For
example, you can use the remote to turn off the lights and television at
night, without leaving your bed. You can even use ActiveHome via telephone
with an optional X10 telephone controller. At your computer,
you can turn lights and appliances on or off in real-time (actually
just a few seconds) while sitting at your computer.
Dawn and Dusk Feature
Rather than having your lights
go on and off at the same time each day, you can use the
Dawn and Dusk feature. Simply choose
the nearest major city from the Geographic Location menu, and ActiveHome
will calculate dawn and dusk times for your location each day. No matter
what time of year, lights of your choice can be turned on or off at dawn
or dusk. |

Smart Serial Interface
ActiveHome'ssmart serial
interface module lets you activate events
without leaving your computer powered on all the time, allowing efficient
power management. No additional wiring for easy, hassle-free setup and
expandability.
ActiveHome uses flexible, user-friendly
X10 accessories that work with your home's existing electrical wiring --
eliminating the hassle and expense of additional wiring.
Each light or appliance to be controlled
through ActiveHome is simply plugged into a module, which then plugs
into your existing outlet. These modules are given addresses so that
each light or appliance can be easily identified by your system.
