The X10 SmartMacro Software Module adds "conditional capability" to the existing macros in the ActiveHome Pro Software. This means that you can now check one or more conditions before running a macro. Then, your macro can control lights and appliances differently depending on the results.
What is a Macro? A Macro is the term used to describe a series of commands. It's like a to-do list that you do in order! In X10 terms, this could mean turning on the front walkway lights, then the porch light, and finally turning on the entry-way chandelier at 50% brightness.
What is a Condition? A condition is something that must be met before doing something else. For example, if your room is clean, you can go out and play. Or, if it's after 9 p.m., turn on the porch lights. With SmartMacros, conditions can be based on time, day of year, day of week, the status of a module, a flag that has been set and other options.
Simple Step-by-Step Condition Wizard: Turning an ordinary macro into a Smart Macro is a snap with the step-by-step condition wizard. You'll see plain English options like "It's after the time I specify" and familiar clocks to clearly show the times you select. You'll get:
- Step-by-step guide
- Point-and-click selections
- Plain English choices
- Quick dawn/dusk settings
- Visual clock display
- Set by day, date or time
- Set by module status
- Add multiple conditions
