Announcing! X10 Master Control Program for OSK and KWindows!

Features:

Dual user selectable interfaces. One is the "standard" K-Windows Menu Style
interface. It has a menu bar of functions functions and a "toolbar" of quick
action buttons. The other interface is in a "popup" style window which is "on
top of" the window it was created on and only contains buttons for quick
action. It is movable and resizable.

With the single click of your mouse you can now turn a light on or off. With an
additional mouse drag of a slide bar you can dim a light to any of 16 discrete
levels. With just a few more mouse clicks these actions can be performed on up
to 16 remote modules at the same time. With menu bar functions you can access
all modules available from you X10 Powerhouse Controller, a total of 256
different remote modules, with direct commands which are executed immediately
or with programmed events which occur at the date, day and time you specify.

Store pre-programmed commands to turn units on or off or dimmed on any date and
time or on repetative times, like at 4PM every Tuesday. You can even have the
X10 vary the time just slightly each repetition to give would be robbers the
illusion of non-computer control.

You can save your configuration of known modules and current X10 program memory
to a disk file for later recovery after a power failure and you were caught
without a good battery! Access all other functions on the X10 like, display
current base house code, display current date and time and even run an X10
diagnostic on the X10 controller via other menu bar functions, all using full
mouse for input. Remote Module Identification is one of the only times you need
to touch your keyboard while using the X10 Master Control Program from
ColorSystems!

X10 Master Control Program will be available for delivery at the upcoming
Chicago CoCoFest at a special introductory price. After the 'fest it will be
available for mail order for a slightly higher cost.


Features of the X10 Powerhouse Controller:

Access remote modules which are fully compatable with the line of "Plug 'n'
Power" modules available at Radio Shack.

Eight on/off rocker switches control units 1-8 for the currently selected base
housecode.

Access up to 256 modules with one controller. (Sixteen units for sixteen
housecodes, access must be either with computer interface or pre-programmed
event to act on any module outside the range of the keypad or in a housecode
different from the controller's current base housecode.)

Store up to 128 pre-programmed events.

Once programmed, may be detached from the computer, but while connected,
pre-programmed events and events initiated via the on board rocker switches are
reported back to the computer interface.



At Chicago I will have a limited supply of brand new X10 controllers and
assorted Plug 'n' Power modules and will be offering them at a special price
when purchased with the X10 Master Control Program.


If you would like to get pricing and ordering information just drop me a line
in private Email.
