Another example of a handy Macro could be a
Going to bed
Macro. Connect your
bedside lamp to your Lamp Module and your electric blanket to the Transceiver Module.
Schedule your Macro to execute just before bedtime each day. More than one schedule
can be defined for your Macro. For example, Monday through Friday you might go to
bed at 10:00 PM, so you would schedule your Macro to execute at 10:00 PM on
WEEKDAYS. On weekends you might normally go to bed at 11:00pm, so select NEXT on
the Timer Settings screen and set 11:00 PM and WEEKEND on the second schedule.
Now your bedroom light will be turned on and your bed will be nice and warm when you
get there. Your Macro can then turn down the light after a few minutes and off even later
along with the electric blanket.
These are just a few of the many possibilities with ActiveHome.

One of the first things you should do before automating your home, is to read through the
on-line help section “Concepts and Terms.” You can find this section by clicking on “Help”
in the main menu bar of ActiveHome and then “Contents” from the pull down menu that
appears. From the table of contents you can then select “Concepts and Terms.”
Be sure to read all of the information in this section before continuing. This will help you
take full advantage of the many capabilities of ActiveHome.

For example, you might only want them to occur while you are on vacation, say between
July 1 and July 15. Just drag the left (green) cursor under the months to the date you want
the events to start (July 1). Then drag the right (red) cursor to the date when you want the
timed events to finish (July 15). Or you can type 7/1 into the box at the right and to the
top of the months, and type 7/15 into the box to the right and below the months.
Congratulations, you just automated your home!

By using ActiveHome you will never have to come home to a dark house again. You can
do this by scheduling your lamp to turn on at a specific time. Save on your utility bills by
scheduling the lamp to come on at Dusk rather than a specific time each day. On the
schedule screen, select ON at DUSK and your light will come on at dusk every day.
To get this feature to work correctly for your home, you must identify your location and time
zone on the Geographic Location screen. Select Configuration from the Menu bar, then
Geographic Location. Select the nearest city to your home from the list. Then select your
time zone and click on Daylight Savings Time if you are currently on Daylight Savings time.
Now your lamp will turn on at a different time each day as ActiveHome tracks the actual
“dusk” time for your location.
