Home automation software package
Home Domination is a feature packed home automation software package, and the USBmicro Classic Roast edition
will get your USBmicro products percolating! It supports the U401 and U421 USB interfaces, the DS1822 temperature
sensors, as well as a variety of X10 controllers and devices. You can use it to manually control USBmicro U401/U421
or X10 devices, and even have it monitor your email for commands so you can control devices from around the globe.
You can add unlimited macros, each of which can operate simultaneously and be triggered by USBmicro devices,
X10 sensors, as well as time triggers, or a combination of all of them. Each macro can control a series of actions,
including switching, emailing, sounds, and many more. Whatever you can dream up, it can probably handle it.

Feature List
Supports the U401, U421 and U421-SC3 USB interfaces.
More than one type of controller can be used at one time if necessary. So macros can be created to trigger an X10
device when an input is received from a U401 (for example).
Any house codes and unit codes for X10 devices can be used at one time. There are no limit to the number of sensors
and switches that can be added.
Each switch can be associated with a security level, so only people with a high enough authorization can control them.
Macros (make it do things by itself)
. Quick Macros - Macros that use a single sensor to control a switch can be quickly added without knowing about the full capabilities of macros. You can easily switch to a normal macro from a Quick Macro window.
. Triggers and actions
. Triggers:
.. Time
.. Sensors - Trigger from sensors from any of the supported interfaces.
.. Activity - Trigger based on the activity or lack of activity for a variety of sensors.
.. Group
. Day/Night triggering
. Actions:
.. Control Switches
.. Delay - Lets you delay before the next action.
.. Beep - Lets you make the computer beep from a macro.
.. Play Sound - Lets you play a wave file from a macro.
.. Email - You can send email, or buffer email data to be sent later using another macro.
.. Alert - This will display a pop up message on a particular remote network client, or on all remote network clients that are attached.
.. Video Snapshots - This lets you snap a picture, or a series of pictures, from a macro.
.. Run - Lets you start a program, display a web page, or do virtually anything else that you can do via Start / Run. You can even start processes on other computers that are using the remote network client.
.. Start / Terminate Macro - A macro can start other macros, or stop other macros that are in progress.
.. FTP - Easily copy files or video snapshots (using static file names) to a web site or anything that supports the FTP protocol.
Temperature Sensors
The current temperature is shown in the sensors tab
Temperature can be shown in Fahrenheit or Celsius.
A log entry can be made when the temperature changes by an amount you specify (like every degree or every 5 degrees, for example).
Macros can be triggered based on the temperature value being less than, greater than, or equal to an amount that you specify.
Two macros can be used to act as a thermostat when used to control a heating device.
Control IO boards for low voltage wiring applications
Supports the U401, U421.
Can be used both for sensors and for switching.
Can be used to trigger macros and control switches from macros.
Can be used to control X10 devices by triggering a macro which controls the X10 devices using any of the X10 controllers.
