Active Home Vista is the ´control centre´ 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.

Last but not least the program can serve as server for multiple network clients.

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, note that downloading macros to the CM10A is not supported)
• CM11A (CM12)
• CM17A
• CP10 (beta)

Release 1.5.0 adds support for text to speech, speech recognition, support for multiple network clients and synchronization of unit images to the network clients. For more details, see the release notes.
