Special Modules
Some modules don’t turn on and off, but
have different functions.
To make a chime module sound, just click
the speaker.
CONTROLLING LIGHTS & APPLIANCES
Motion sensors don’t have any control
buttons. Since they send commands and
don’t receive them, ActiveHome Pro only
shows you when they are active.
Two-Way Modules
In addition to receiving commands and turning on and off, some X10
modules can send information back to ActiveHome Pro. These Two-Way
modules (model LM14A Lamp Module and AM14A and AM15A
appliance modules, plus some models from other manufacturers), will have
a Poll button on them. When you click Poll, ActiveHome Pro asks the
module its status, and updates the screen with the new information.
CONTROLLING LIGHTS & APPLIANCES
When you are in the Room View, you have direct control of the
lamps, appliances, and other modules in your ActiveHome Pro
configuration. These controls are in the on screen representation of
the module. Modules of different types have different controls.
Appliance Modules
Appliance modules (including the
SuperSocket Wall Outlet Module) can be
turned on and off using the switch.
Macros
When you click the Run Macro button, the
Macro’s events will start. If the Macro is
running from the computer (not stored in the
ActiveHome Pro interface), you can press
the button again to stop the rest of the
Macro’s events from occurring. For more
information about Macros see Making
Macro Events.
Lamps and Other Dimmable Modules
A lamp has two sets of controls. Use the
switch to turn it on and off, and the
slider to control the level of brightness.
If you brighten a lamp that’s off,
ActiveHome Pro will turn the module
on. If you dim a lamp to 0% brightness,
ActiveHome Pro will turn it off.
