[. . . ] 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. You now have the power to control your whole home from your computer!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. [. . . ] 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. The command always has an X10 Address, plus an On or Off. In this example, the trigger for the Macro is B13 On. You could set another Macro to be triggered by B13 Off, too. 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. This setting doesn't affect the commands the Macro can use. Any Macro can control any module in any room in the house. Triggering Macros You can trigger a Macro is several different ways: 1. You can click on the "Run Macro" button in the Room View. 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. Make sure you download your Macros into the Interface. 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.
