ActiveHome PC Home Automation System

What if I told you that you could give your home a brain? What if your home knew when you wake up, when you leave for work, when you get home and when you go to bed at night? What if it could turn lights on and off, start the coffee pot, turn up the heat, turn on the fans in the summer time, dim the lights so you can read or watch your favorite movie before bed and more?

Sounds a little futuristic and expensive, doesn't it?

"The X10 home automation package is our Editors' Choice, thanks to its combination of cost and usefulness . . . All the systems here can be expanded as your interest grows, to cover more of your house and do more things. That means you won't feel locked in but will be able to improve your home system as the technology improves."

- PC Magazine

What if you could do all of this in your home in addition to controlling and dimming your lights with the touch of a button on a tiny remote and a WHOLE LOT MORE? How much do you think something like this would cost? Hundreds? Thousands? Nope, not even close!

Try $49.99! That's right - less than fifty bucks! No contractors or electricians required!

With our ActiveHome PC Home Automation System, you can make all this and more a reality in a matter of minutes all by yourself!

Imagine waking up each morning to your bedroom lights gently fading on, a fresh pot of coffee ready and your favorite radio station coming on. It's time to say "enough" to that annoying alarm buzz, rushing to make coffee and hiding your eyes while you adjust to the bright morning light. ActiveHome knows how and when you like to wake up. Maybe it's at a different time on the weekends or super early on Tuesdays and Thursdays so you can get in your morning workout? No problem! You create the settings and ActiveHome will do the rest!

Now let's talk about getting home from a long day of work. As soon as you pull into the driveway, your walkway and porch light up, providing you with a well-lit path to your front door. As soon as you enter your home, the rooms light up and you smell a hot dinner perfectly done in the slow cooker. As you lay back in your easy chair and turn on the TV, the living room lights dim to the perfect level. At bedtime, the stairway lights up at 50 percent brightness as you make your way to bed. After brushing your teeth and reading a bit before bed, your bedroom lights gently fade off as you fall into a deep sleep.

This, my friend, is how ActiveHome works. It knows your schedule and runs your home accordingly. It sounds like a dream or something out of The Jetsons, but it's not. It's YOUR home!

Looking at ActiveHome, you wouldn't think that one little box plugged into the back of your PC could do so much! But it really does! ActiveHome unites the thinking power of your computer with the physical parts of your home. There is so much you can do, yet the drag-n-drop software interface is incredibly intuitive and easy. If you can check your Email, you can use ActiveHome Pro. Just hook the ActiveHome Interface into the back of your PC and plug it into a wall outlet, download the simple software, create the settings you want with a couple clicks of your mouse and you're done!

And we've just touched the surface of all that you can do! Save energy and money by setting your lights and appliances on energy-conserving schedules. Set the heat to turn up and down whenever you want. Never touch a light switch or thermostat again! Set your lights to turn on and off at random times while you're on vacation so your home looks occupied at all times and more! Your imagination is the only limitation as to what you can do with ActiveHome!

What really makes it all come together is the modules. Without them, you can't control any lights and appliances. To get you started, we are including a FREE CFL/Appliance Module. That means you will have instant control of a lamp or appliance right out of the box. Then the real fun begins - you can add as many modules as you want! Add modules to control CFL lamps, normal lamps, overhead lights, porch lights, floodlights, wall sconces, fans, radios, thermostats, coffee pots and more. If you plug it in, you can most likely control and schedule it with ActiveHome!

At just $49.99, ActiveHome is a steal! Sold separately, you'd pay $163.97. Order today to lock in this special price! Oh, we forgot to mention that we include a 1-year warranty and give you 30 days to try it out. If you're not satisfied for any reason, simply return it for your money back!

If you change your routine ActiveHome Pro will change with you automatically.

For only $20, you can take your ActiveHome Pro System to a whole new level. We will add the myHouse Online software you need to control your home's lights and appliances via the Internet from anywhere in the world! Going to be late at work? Hop online and turn on the lights so your home looks occupied. On vacation? Turn lights and appliances on with the click of your mouse from any Internet-enabled PC in the world!

THAT'S NOT ALL! We also including the revolutionary ActivePhone! ActivePhone essentially turns your cell phone into an X10 remote that controls and dims your lights, allows you to turn appliances on and off and even turn everything on or off at once with the touch of a single button.

This App sends wireless commands from your phone over your home Wi-Fi network to ActiveHome Pro on your PC. ActiveHome Pro instantly wirelessly transmits the commands to your ActiveHome Interface, which delivers the commands to your light/appliance modules. You can tell the modules to turn on, off, dim, or all turn on or off at once. Sounds a little complicated, but it's not. Leave the technical stuff to us. It all happens instantaneously as soon as you touch your cell screen.

Since it all works through ActiveHome Pro, you can even trigger ActiveHome Pro Macros, or Scenes. All you have to do is create the easy settings on ActiveHome Pro, and one touch on your phone screen starts the magic. For example, you can create a "Home from Work"scene. Hit a button on your phone as you pull in the driveway to light up the porch and foyer. Create a "Movie Night" scene that turns on the surround sound, dims the lights and starts the popcorn with one touch. Create a "Good Morning" scene that fades the lights on, turns on the news and starts the coffee pot. The only limit to what you can do is your imagination!

Think about how easy and relaxing your morning could be! As soon as you wake up, hit a button on your phone and the lights fade on just enough for your eyes to gradually adjust, the heat turns up and the coffee pot starts brewing, so your home is nice and cozy and your coffee is fresh as soon as you step out of the shower.

Imagine melting into your couch after a long day at work to watch a movie or your favorite TV show. Hit a button on your phone and your living room lights dim to just the perfect level. Hit another button to start the popcorn maker and turn on the living room fan to cool you off.

You're never going to have to get up and walk across the room to hit a light switch again. Just touch your cell screen to dim or turn off the bedroom lights right before you slip into a deep sleep. Another touch turns on the porch light downstairs without you getting up and yet another starts your bedroom air humidifier. Stay warm under the covers without getting up and running around before bed.
