Connections
The Computer Interface connects between the AC outlet and the computers serial/USB. A cable with an RJ11 connection on one end and aserial port connector on the other is provided to connect the interface to any PC.

Two-way
The Computer Interface is a two-way communication system, both sending and receiving X10 powerline commands.

ActiveHome Software
User friendly Windows compatible software is provided with the interface which includes graphical representations of switches, modules etc. to provide point-and-click control of modules, and easy setting of scheduled events and macros.

Scheduled Events
Events may be scheduled to occur at a particular time every day, on chosen days only, between chosen dates etc. You can also program the interface to turn lights on at dawn and off at dusk just by choosing your location from a worldwide list.

Macros
A command from a controller(such as a mini controller) normally operates a device directly, e.g. pressing A1 ON switches on the module with code A1. The computer interface, however, can be programmed to intercept a command, and respond to it by generating a whole group of commands called a macro. For example, pressing A1 ON on a controller might turn on stair lights and bedroom lights, then after 20 minutes dim the bedroom lights to 50% and turn off the stair lights, and finally turn off all lights 30 minutes later.
