User Setup Contest! [Closed]
« on: February 25, 2009, 12:01:58 PM »

I knew that would get your attention! rofl

Many users come here for help, others come to supply help!If this is the only reason you come to the forum then this contest isn't for you!
This isn't a X10 Contest, but it would be nice if they would contribute a prize! ::) :'
A section was created some time ago for users to show case their HomeAutomation setups but few have taken the time to start a thread about their setup! Even with requests from me :(
Success of this Contest may result in more!
So in order to get some participation going and inspire others, here it is!
This is a user contest so even if  X10 doesn't supply a prize then you can look forward to a User donated prize/s.
(maybe others will donate a prize  ;) )
Prize list thus far:
1:AlertDialer Plus registered version software
2:BVC (Bill's Voice Commander) registered version software
3: X10 hardware (New RF Capable Icon Remote)?

Submissions for this Contest will run till March31st 2009.


Rules:
1:To qualify  you must start a thread before March31st 2009 in the Automated Home Showcase section. Read the Automation Showcase Please Read! for thread ideas.
2:These newly created threads must be actual setups. Not this is what I will do, although they can contain that info!
3:Setups must use x10 hardware, how ever other Homeautomation hardware and software may also be included.
4:Setups don't have to be elaborate, although the more interesting they are may improve your chances of winning!

Disclaimer:
Prize list may change before end of submission deadline.The winner will be established using a poll-style vote format in the Automated Home Showcase  section! In the event of a tie at the conclusion of the contest, a runoff between the tied top-vote receivers will occur using a poll-style format. In order to vote you must be a member of the forum. I reserve the right to modify these rules anytime and allow the same for X10 at their own discretion.

With Tuicemen's permission, I have upped the ante with a copy of the Full registered version of BVC.

In the real world, the only constant is change.

When I'm online you can find me in the Home Automation Chat Room!

I have been informed by X10Bobby that a x10 prize is possibly coming as well!  :)%
Just what it is (or if it materializes) remains to be seen! Hopefully by weeks end we'll know ;)

I'm happy to see some threads getting started  :)%
But must say I'm a little disappointed in some of the long time users not starting threads! :(
I know your systems may not be large But they are reliable and that's the big thing that counts! ;)
Don't be intimidated by those large setups already posted about, each users setup always inspires something in all of us!
Please don't feel you have to post your whole setup in one shot!
Infact it is best to break it up into multiple post (it makes for easier reading)
A thread only needs to be started to qualify for the contest!

Only A few more days left to enter!
Come On Guys and Gals participate!

You don't need your complete setup posted to be eligible!

I guess X10 was waiting to see the interest in this before committing a prize! :'(

Poor user interest (lack of participation) = poor (or no)  X10 Prize!

To those that have Contributed and started a thread in this section!
 #:)
To those that haven't.
Shame on you! :(  :(

I just received a PM from a user who is willing to send the winner some X10 Hardware in order so the winner may expand their setup! :)%
Just what the hardware is will be revealed in the voting thread!
Trust me it isn't just a motion sensor!
This user will mail the hardware directly to the winner!

Warning! Don't say you weren't told!

Some of you know I've been in contact with X10 staff and the idea of a x10 donated prize has been pushed around!
If the Prize that was discussed is donated many of you will be kicking your self or your going to have a sore head!  B:(
Even you COs,EAs and long time users!  >*<
 
Get off the pot!
You've been warned!   rofl

A Icon remote has been offered by X10Bobby!
I'm sure as soon as he is feeling better he'll post the details!
Thanks to everyone that started a thread! #:)

If you didn't get one started in time for the contest don't let that stop you!
There may be another contest in the works so keep posting to your threads updating as you update your setups.
In any case do take time to vote and show your support! ;)
