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.
AUTOEXEC.BAT A sample Autoexec batch file
X10SAMPL.PGM An example Smart10 program file
SMART10.TXT The Smart10 document
REGISTER.FRM The Smart10 registration form

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
