[. . . ] ActiveHome Pro MODEL CM15A OWNER'S MANUAL (Please keep for future reference) USB 2-Way Home Automation System 1 INTRODUCTION Welcome to the world of Home Automation. With ActiveHome Pro and your X10 Modules you can create schedules for your lights and appliances, set up groups of commands for your daily life, and keep lights and appliances off when they're not in use. Use ActiveHome Pro to make your home more comfortable, and more secure. The X10 ActiveHome Pro software, in conjunction with the Interface, lets you control lights and appliances around your home when used with X10 Modules. [. . . ] If you have the summary open and click the Rooms bar in the Tree Pane, you'll open a summary for all of your rooms, as seen below. Timer List When you're in the Timer Designer, all of the timers for that module are listed in the text box at the top of the pane. The list describes each timer, and when it occurs. If you don't want a timer to be active, just uncheck the check box in front of it. In the Summary View you can check or uncheck timers to turn them on or off, and delete timers as well. Use the Room, Module, Address, and Start Time buttons to change the sort order of the timer listing. 24 25 USING MACRO EVENTS Using Macro Events Macros are a useful way to group commands for your X10 modules. If you have lights and appliance that you frequently use in similar ways, you can easily turn them into a macro. The Macro Designer The Macro Designer window is used to create and edit all of your macros. You can access the Macro Designer in several ways: by clicking on an existing macro in the Macros list in the Tree View, by clicking the (+) button to create a new macro, using the "Edit" button on a Macro in the Room View, and more. There are three parts to the Macro Designer: the Macro Information bar, the Module and Command List, and the Macro timeline. Macro Designer You can access and change information about your Macro in the Information Bar at the top of the Macro Designer window. USING MACRO EVENTS The Trigger information tells ActiveHome Pro what command you want to use to start the Macro with an X10 remote or other controller. Unlike regular modules, two Macros can share the same address, as long as one uses the On trigger and the other uses the Off trigger. The On/Off part of the trigger is separate from the actual operation of the Macro -- any Macro can turn modules both on and off. When you create a Macro, it gets put into one of the rooms in ActiveHome Pro. You can change which room it appears in using the "Macro Operates In" selection. Triggering Macros You can trigger a Macro is several different ways: 1. You can schedule a Timer to send the Macro trigger code so that the Macro runs at a particular time. Use the Macro Name to describe what a Macro does, or how you want to use it. You can name a Macro anything you want; the name doesn't affect how it works. 3. You can press a button on any X10 Controller, or remote control to trigger the Macro. You can set an X10 motion detector to send the Macro trigger command to trigger the Macro when someone walks into a room, or near you home where you've placed the Motion Detector. See page 37. 26 27 USING MACRO EVENTS Module List To add commands to a Macro, you drag the module you want to control from the Module List on the right into the Macro Timeline. In the room list, dimmable modules (lamps) are shown with a light blue title bar. Each room also has a special module listed that you can use to control all of the modules in that room.
