Essential Info

You'll never have to get off the sofa to make room adjustments again with this home automation kit that gives you the power to control home theater equipment, lights and other electronic devices with one remote control! Just hook up these plug-and-play items, and in just seconds, you'll have complete on-command or pre-programmed control of nearly any electronic device in your home!

This system allows you to create timed schedules for your lights and appliances — perfect if you want to wake up to music and soft gentle lights, or if you want to make your house look lived in while you're gone. You can even control devices directly from your PC just by clicking on them.

About 100 programmed events and macros can be downloaded to the memory on the Activehome unit for stand-alone operation (with the PC turned off).

The Activehome Kit features a 6-in-1 IR Remote Control that can control most commonly available audio/video components, as well as X10 via RF (using X10 RF Receiver Base). A separate X10 RF Keychain Remote and an X10 Lamp Module is also included.

#1142 Activehome Kit includes:
1 - 1140 Activehome (CM11A) PC Interface
1 - 4006 6-in-1 Remote Control (Not sold separately)
1 - 4005X 16-Device RF Base
1 - 2000 Lamp Module
1 - 4004 Keychain Remote, 6 "AAA" Batteries

Expanding is easy! When you're ready to control more functions, simply add any X10 lamp or appliance module.

The Activehome module plugs into the serial port of any PC running Windows 3.1/95/98/ME/2000 (and Windows XP with the downloadable driver from this page). The socket on the front of the unit is an unswitched pass-through power outlet for the power cord of the PC. CD-ROM drive required.

Also available is the #1140 the Activehome interface alone without accessories.

Note: The radio signals sent by the remote control will not directly control a UHF satellite dish receiver or other audio-video gear which only receives RF signals. The RF portion of the remote control is only for controlling Home Automation Products.

So far, so good on this one. The software was very easy to use and the unit seems to work well. Can't beat it for the price. Just need to buy some more switches and outlets now.
MARC -- gilroy, CA   9/1/2011
It works.
BRIAN -- las vegas, NV   7/29/2011
Easy to install and operate
GAY -- vail, AZ   7/12/2011
Good value for the money. Easy to use. Set the dials to match the control module and what position you want on the remote, plug in the lamp and plug it into the wall.
CHARLES -- altoona, WI   7/10/2011
These X10 components are super easy to install, which is why I like them. I enjoy the "theater lighting" effect of gradual on and off. I have used Smarthome for many years and appreciate the vast selection of items available, easy ordering online, fast shipping, great prices.
RALPH -- gettysburg, PA   5/20/2011
Works as advertised.
JAMES -- raleigh, NC   3/18/2011
Easy to program,works great.
PETER -- jacksonville, FL   2/14/2011
Pleasant surprise. When this is turned off, it fades off slowly. Nice touch. Is this an option or hard-wired?
ROBERT -- austin, TX   2/13/2011
Works as advertised
CLINT -- menlo park, CA   1/31/2011
This is the generic X-10 lamp module. Because CFL lamps should not be dimmed there should be a way to disable the dimming feature. The module works but there is a risk that someone might try to dim a CFL.
ERIKA -- brighton, MA   1/31/2011
Nice, no hassle instalation.
NATHAN -- fairfax station, VA   1/17/2011

These are an incredible value and I like the slowed rise to full light and slowed dim to off. Very nice. Thanks.
