Icons representing your devices update real time as X10 signals are received. HouseLincTM allows you to create a bitmap of your floor plan, scan in pictures of your home or building. Dimmable devices can be indicated with icons that have a moveable slider bar to change dim levels. When HouseLincTM receives this command, it will send out any series of commands you program it for. For example, push one button on your X10 remote and have the living room lights dim, the drapes close and the TV and VCR come to life.
Event scheduling is just as easy.
Using the conditional features of HouseLincTM, it can look at the time of day for each event and decide whether that event should happen or not. You can base the event on time of year, on the state of other X10 devices or on the time of sunrise and sunset, for evening and daytime changes. Press this button and HouseLincTM can be programmed to turn off all the lights around the house. Programming is menu driven and very intuitive. Simply check boxes and select from pull down menus.
