Beaufort, SC - August 30, 1999 - Always Thinking, Inc. proudly announces
the release of Thinking Home 1.0!
Imagine writing an AppleScript that turns on the coffee maker -- something
like:
tell application "Thinking Home"
turn on the "coffee maker"
end tell
Or just talk to your Mac: "Turn on the coffee maker". You can do it today!
Thinking Home is nothing less than the best application for working with
inexpensive X-10 (home automation) computer interfaces, including the new
FireCracker. Designed by user interface professionals, Thinking Home
presents the information and options in the clearest possible manner while
providing the most complete set of features. And, as usual, software of
this caliber is only available for Macintosh users.
While there's no need to be a "power user", Thinking Home boasts numerous,
powerful features that set it apart from other X-10 applications:
- Downloads Events and Macros
- Voice Commands
- Spoken announcements
- Runs AppleScripts and is scriptable
- Complete thermostat features
- Full Comm Toolbox support (i.e. all serial ports, not just Modem and
Printer)
- Drag & Drop
- Logging
- Multiple, simultaneous X-10 interfaces
- Comprehensive AppleGuide, including many web links and even help
making cables.
- Supports two-way devices
- Compatible with the ActiveHome (CM-11), CP-290 and the FireCracker
(CM-17) computer interfaces.
