PERATION

Using ActiveHome Pro

All you need to do is run your X10 ActiveHome Pro software — your
software controls the Interface. Use the entry in your Windows Start Menu,
or double-click the icon on your desktop to open the program. When the
program opens click on help for information on how to use ActiveHome
Pro.

When you create a new file, you’ll automatically be taken to the room
creation window.

Type the name of the room in the box, then choose a color for the modules
in that room. Each room can have its own color, so it’s easier to tell
modules apart in the Room View.

To create additional rooms, click on the (+) button on the Rooms bar in the
Tree Pane. This will open the room dialog again.

Editing Rooms

If you want to make changes to rooms you’ve already created, select the
room you want to change and then use the Edit Menu to choose “Edit
Room” or right-click on a room name and choose Edit Room. The Edit
Room window looks and works just like the Add a Room window.
