---------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.0 of the Home Automation System/2 is now available for download from
HOBBES in ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/apps/misc/home2.zip
Home/2 is a PM based application you can use to set up an X10 CP290 Home
Control Interface Unit. Dialogs for direct control of lights, setting event
timers, query events, and setting base codes are easy to understand and use.
128 timer events can be set or cleared. A base house code may be set in the
control unit itself so the 8 rocker switches can be used directly. You can
save your events to a file and later load them into the CP290 Control
Interface.
The CP290 Home Control Interface Unit is an X10 based timer unit that can be
used to turn lights, appliances, and other devices on and off. This can be
used for home security, or just to have a light on when you come home late at
night.
Please feel free to try it out and/or pass it along to friends interested in
home automation or security. You do not need an X10 CP290 unit connected to
go through the various dialogs. Feel free to send me any comments and/or
suggestions about the Home/2 program.
