Hey guys and gals! I'm Casey, the new guy at X10.

Well, sort of, that is. I've actually been using X10 gear since I was in fifth grade, believe it or not. So working here is a dream come true. Here's how I use my X10:

Between working late and trying to hang out with friends, I live a busy life. Sometimes I don't get home until late in the evening. I like to use our ActiveHome PC software to set my lights on schedules that match mine. Some of my lights are set to automatically come on at night and turn off in the morning. Other lights I have set to come on at certain times. And, before bed, I turn off my lights with my little remote, which I keep bedside.

This sweet kit is really all you need, and only take 15 or 20 minutes to get it all up and going.

You get a PalmPad Remote and a tiny Keychain Remote to remotely control your lights and appliances from anywhere in the house.

You get an Appliance Module, a dimmable Lamp Module and a Screw-In Lamp Module so you can instantly take control of two lights and an appliance. And I like the fact that if you want to expand, you can add as many more modules as you want.

What makes this kit even better is that you get a Motion Sensor, too. Add it indoors or out, and the instant someone approaches, it will automatically turn on the lights. It will even turn them off again when the motion stops!

To top it off, you get the entire ActiveHome Software Suite! With ActiveHome Pro, you'll be able to schedule and control your home from your PC. You'll be able to control your home or monitor your cameras (sold separately) from anywhere in the world via the Internet and see, record and control your cameras on your home PC. You can also set conditions (time of day, day of week, seasonal, etc.), and have your home respond based on those conditions. Plus, with OnAlert, you will be able to use X10 security modules, such as Door/Window Sensors, Motion Detectors, Security Keychain Remotes and more, to trigger home automation events!

Warranty: 1 year

Features:

  • Control your lights/appliances by PC, remote, over even over the Internet!
  • Save money and energy - set your lights/appliances on energy-conserving schedules
  • Keep your home safe - turn your lights, radios, and TVs on and off while on vacation
  • Watch your home from anywhere in the world - get online and view your surveillance cameras LIVE
  • Let your home run itself - set it in Lifestyle Mode, and it will memorize your actions and repeat them
  • Easy do-it-yourself setup

The Heart, Soul and Brains of Your Home - All In This Tiny White Box

Yes, it's true. Big things really do come in small packages. It's remarkable what we've been able to pack inside the NEW ActiveHome Pro Computer Interface. First, take your old transceivers, for example (TM751 or RR501). You used to need one for every house code. No more. This interface will send and receive ALL 256 house/unit codes and even take the place of the PC Transceiver (CM19A) for controlling X10 Cameras.

Next, you'll find loads of memory for storing timers and macros. And don't forget the NEW USB interface which makes connecting to today's PCs a snap. But that's just the beginning. The NEW ActiveHome Pro USB computer interface is ready for future enhancements as well. This Tiny White Box will have you monitoring your home surveillance cameras, controlling your home via the web, and more. Stay tuned, excitement awaits!

Built in memory and a battery backup inside the USB Computer Interface allows timers to operate with your computer turned off. Now that's powerful!

Software that's easy to use! Now anyone who can point and click will be able to look like a home automation genius! ActiveHome Pro looks like other Windows XP software and works with Drag-And-Drop simplicity. This is the software you've been asking for, enjoy it.

Modules Are Organized By Rooms

Just turn on the Lifestyle Mode and ActiveHome Pro will watch what you do around the house, recording when you turn lights on or off. Then, after 24 hours, it will start repeating that last day's activity. If you turn off the porch light at 8AM today, ActiveHome Pro will do it for you tomorrow at the same time. If you change your routine ActiveHome Pro will change with you automatically.

Macros & Events Are Built With Drag-And-Drop Ease

Macros are powerful mini-routines that you customize to do powerful tasks. If you want one button to perform multiple tasks, then you'll love the Macro Designer in ActiveHome Pro.

The wait is over! The time has come for today's "Smart Home" to get a whole lot smarter. It's time for your home to start thinking and making decisions to improve your life in an intelligent way.
