Active Home Vista Description:

Active Home Vista is the ´control center´ of your home automation system. You can control all your devices, program the X10 interface and receive updates from the X10 interface to see what´s going on X10-wise.

Dusk & dawn timers are supported. The limited EEPROM of the interface is used in an efficient way to store as many timers & macros as possible. Also DST support is present. For a number of X10 devices a program wizard is available.

The program supports text to speech & speech recognition. Besides that it´s possible to use the program within your own scripts using a simple command line interface. With version 2.0.0 also a web server is integrated, so your X10 devices can be controlled from virtually everywhere.

Last but not least the program can serve as server for multiple network clients (including a client running on Android).

You´ll need a computer, a free serial port (or USB) and a X10 interface to do anything useful.

The following interfaces are supported:

- CM10A / IBM Home director 16 (beta, downloading macros / timers is not supported)
- CM11A (CM12)
- CM15A (downloading macros / timers is not supported)
- CM17A
- CP10 (beta)

In order to use it with the CM15A interface, the ActiveHome Pro SDK is needed (if you don´t have the ActiveHome Pro software installed). This SDK can be downloaded here.

System Requirements: Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7
Operating System Support: Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP
