Smart10 is intended for use with the X10 Powerhouse CP290 computer interface. This interface can be programmed from a personal computer and will maintain and execute up to 128 timer events. These events can be set for specific times and days of the week. The controller has a span of only one week, and does not have the concept of sunrise and sunset. The software which comes with the controller is somewhat clumsy to use if you wish to define more than a few events. Smart10 was devised to overcome the limitations of the CP290 and its supplied software. It can maintain a year's calendar of events. You can use Sunrise and Sunset as times. (You don't have use them as exact time, you can add or subtract time from them.) Events can be conditioned to occur (or not to occur) if it is Dark (or Light), between dates you have specified, or added on command line parameters to the Smart10 program. There is an "immediate" command mode (run from the command line) whereby you can issue direct or delayed commands and cancel pending events. Two programs are included to help you automate your AUTOEXEC.BAT files. These are CHKTIME and DSTIME. CHKTIME compares the computer's date and time with target date and times. ERRORVALUE is set if there is a match. DSTIME is used to adjust your computer clock for daylight savings time. With Smart10 and these programs you can completely automate maintainence of your CP290. Smart10 is distributed as shareware. Shareware is commercial software distributed in an unconventional manner. Shareware isn't free. If you use it regularly, the authors expect compensation. Shareware allows you to evaluate the product before you purchase it. If you use this product, you are obliged to register it. Copies of Smart10 may be freely distributed in its self-extracting form (SMRTEN.EXE.) No fee, charge or other compensation may be accepted for the distribution of Smart10. Except, Public Domain Disk Vendors and BBS(s) may charge a nominal fee for distribution of the program. Such charges must clearly be labelled distribution charges and the recipient of Smart10 must be informed that the distribution fee does not relieve the payment of the registration fee for Smart10. The Smart10 files consist of: SMART10.EXE The Smart10 program GENPGM.EXE A program to convert from the X10 Powerhouse software setup CHKTIME.EXE A program to check bootup time DSTIME.EXE A program to increment (or decrement) your computer clock for daylight savings time. LOCATION.TXT A list of cities and their latitudes and longitudes. If you don't know the latitude and longitude of your city, pick one that is close by from this list.

This program is produced by a member of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the member directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide technical support for members' products. Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442-9427 or send a CompuServe message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536. The Ombudsman may be contacted by FAX by sending to the ASP FAX number: (616) 788-2765. In communications with the Ombudsman please include a telephone number and/or FAX if available.
