HOUSE/2, the first shareware program available for
the CM11A controller by X-10, has been expanded to
support the popular CP290 home automation controller
and as a result, HOUSE/290 is now available.


What is X-10 home automation?

With X-10 devices you can inexpensively automate your home,
from turning on your lights and appliances automatically,
to controlling drapes and thermostats, to monitor events
from motion sensors and input modules. The X-10 controllers
connect to your computer's serial port and act as timing
devices for the modules. X-10 modules simply plug into your
existing house wiring and transmission occurs through the
wiring itself - no rewiring is necessary. An easy, fun and
inexpensive home improvement project, plus it saves energy!


What are HOUSE/2 and HOUSE/290?

HOUSE/2 and HOUSE/290 are OS/2 applications designed to
program and control the X-10 computer interfaces.
These programs are designed to interactively control the
X-10 modules from your desktop, or you can pre-program the
controllers and run timed events completely stand-alone.


HOUSE/290 has the following features:

  - Fully supports all functions of the CP290 controller.

  - Attractive and easy to use graphical user interface.

  - Manages modules and timing events in a logical way.

  - Use drag and drop to move and delete modules.

  - Enhanced slider controls to operate modules from
    your desktop using keyboard, mouse, touch screen
    or speech commands.

  - Fully REXX-enabled. Extend the functionality of the
    CP290 with your own REXX scripts. Samples included.

  - Works over a LAN or peer-to-peer network.

  - Launch up to four user defined programs triggered by
    events originating from the CP290.

  - Includes sample REXX script to do a single button
    dial-the-internet, get e-mail and log-off.

  - Vacuums your house and makes your bed (well, not quite).

  - Extensive online help and information line help for all
    timer setting objects.

  - Easy installation thanks to PillarSoft's Self
    Extracting Installer.

  - Plus many more features.
