Curtis' home office has everything he could need - and more. He checks his email and surfs the Net in the morning before starting his work. At night, he finishes up some household accounting and answers any email that came during the day. And thanks to FireCracker®, he has the power to control his entire household without ever leaving his office. 

The Kitchen - The Kids' Rooms - The Yard - The Bedroom  


The Kitchen
Curtis is a member of the caffeine nation, and he's proud of it. Using FireCracker, he can get coffee going in the kitchen with a click of the mouse while he reads the morning news online. On warm afternoons, he turns on the window fan to get more air circulating through the house. At the end of the day, he can turn off the Crockpot™, which has been slowly simmering chili all day. 
Easy Setup:
X10 products needed for this kitchen scenario:

FireCracker Kit (comes with one lamp module and one Wireless Link Module™).

Appliance module for Crockpot™.

Appliance module for window fan. 

The Kids' Rooms

After they've left for school, Curtis notices that his kids sometimes forget to turn off their stereos.  He can easily do this from his own computer, which cuts down on his electricity charges. At the end of the day, they like to play outside with their neighborhood friends. They are young enough that they go to bed earlier than their parents -- but old enough to try to stay up later than they should. He has the outdoor lights set as a signal -- when they flicker twice, the kids know it is time to come inside. At bedtime, the standing lamps in both kids' rooms are plugged into X10 lamp modules -- with one click of his mouse, Curtis can call "Lights Out" and there's no question about whether it is bedtime.

Easy Setup:
  • Plug the lights in the kids' rooms into lamp modules and assign each one to a house code.

  • Plug the stereos into X10 appliance modules.

  • Plug the yard lights into a Universal Module.

  • Plug the FireCracker™ computer interface into a serial port on your PC, and install the software.

  • Warn the kids that Dad means it when he says 8 p.m. is their bedtime.
X10 products needed for this kids' room scenario:

FireCracker™ Kit (comes with one lamp module and one Wireless Link Module™).

Lamp modules, one for each lamp.

Universal Module (not sold with FireCracker™ kit, this module handles low-voltage devices such as yard lighting, sprinklers, and garage door openers ).

Appliance modules, one for each stereo.

The Yard
Because the weather can be variable, and Curtis doesn't want to waste water, he generally turns the sprinklers on in the cooler evening weather, when he is certain that there won't be any rain. With one click of the mouse, FireCracker sends a command to the appliance modules controlling the sprinklers in the front and back yards. Before he logs off for the evening, Curtis will turn the sprinklers off.
Easy Setup:
  • Plug the sprinkler system into a Universal Module™ (not included in FireCracker™ Kit).

  • Plug the FireCracker™ computer interface into a serial port on your PC, and install the software.

  • Assign the sprinkler to a house code on your virtual PalmPad™ interface.

  • Turn sprinklers off and on as necessary. Check the weather forecast.

The Bedroom
Curtis is sitting in his home office. It’s getting late, and it’s time to go to bed. He’s been incredibly busy, and now he just wants to relax with his wife and go to sleep. So with the touch of a button on his home computer, using his Firecracker software, he turns on the radio in his bedroom, sending the relaxing strains of his favorite jazz station. Then he dims all the bedroom lights except for a small bedside lamp. And he turns off the rest of the lights throughout the house. 
Easy Setup
  • Plug your room lamps into lamp modules.

  • Plug a radio into the Wireless Link Module™, tune in your favorite jazz station, and adjust the volume.

  • Plug the FireCracker computer interface into a serial port on your PC and install the software.

  • Using FireCracker software, assign each lamp its own house code button on the virtual PalmPad™. Then assign another button to the radio.

  • Arrange this to be a secret signal with your sweetheart.

Extra lamp modules necessary (depends on the number of lamps to control, one module per lamp).
