Hey there
So I have developed an automation tool that manage Active Home X10 devices, combined with some really sexy features.
---
1. The tool allows you to control all X10 devices, along with UIRT devices, set macros and all the mandatory stuff, with a nice "design your house" wpf gui.
2. Actions - let you control which trigger device and action will cause which device to do something else (for example - motion sensor MS13 will result in sending you a mail, or voice command "Lights on" will cause livingroom lights to turn on).
3. Aggregated actions -meaning you can program amount of notifications that will cause trigger and not a single notifications (for example when no motion in room for 10 minutes turn off lights, or the opposite).
3. Voice controlled
4. IR devices control
5. Mail notifications
6. Server - Client to allow control over the tool from other PC's (Under Construction).
7. Power consumption statistic to minimize power usage (Under Construction).
obviously it is all free..
I strongly recommend to visit my website at
www.gilboash.co.cc, it also has a do-it-yourself section with some explanations on the devices, and manual of how to activate the program.
So I would love to have some more overseas users- enjoy and contact me for any issues
