How it works:

With the 2-Way X10 programmable Computer Interface, you can program timed sequences for your lights and appliances and also create mood settings for your home. A sequence or mood involves a series of instructions being followed, such as: the stair lights turning on after the television is turned off, the downstairs lights turning off 10 minutes later, the bedroom lights dimming by 50% at the same time, and all lights switching off after a further 30 minutes. The macros can be downloaded to the memory on the Computer Interface so that your instructions are followed even when your computer is turned off.

Features:

Dawn/Dusk feature enables you to tell your computer where you live. It can then turn your lights on or off in response to this setting, automatically changing throughout the year as dawn/dusk times change.

The included ActiveHome software can monitor your home control system for a period of time and then replay that sequence when you’re away - adding security by giving your home a lived-in look.
