Developer’s Description

By Mountain Systems

Provides a clean and simple approach to X10 control for your home environment.

X10Net is an X10 hardware control application. It supports a variety of common X10 gear and includes options for both manual and automatic control of X10 devices. X10Net can work over a PC network to provide X10 control at each PC location. X10Net supports an unlimited number of X10 events that be scheduled for specific times. Scheduled events can be set for specific time of the day, or based on sunrise or sunset. X10Net supports the concept of a Macro. A Macro is defined as a group of other X10 program events. Macros can be scheduled just like individual events or manually executed for quick control of sets of X10 events.

X10Net has the ability to detect X10 events generated by other devices (remote controls, key chain remotes, motion sensors), and perform other actions based on user rules. X10Net supports a command line interface. This allows the program to generate X10 events based on actions from other Windows programs.

Out-Of-Business

Pros
It?s an OK program. Offers many ways to control X10 Devices.
Cons
Don't expect updates or support
Summary
I started to become concern when I sent a request to their support folks, via the Mountain Systems web site form asking a question about Vista compatibility and never received a response. Calls to their phone number 276-676-2834 show the phone has been disconnected. The person who answered their other support number 276-676-2093 tells me she has had this number for 7 months and consistently received calls for Mountain System. Please don?t continue to harass this person. Looks like they are Out-of-Business.
Excellent for PC-based automation control

Pros
This program unlike most makes it easy to interface with other programs and scripts. Great rules language and they add new rules with updates from time to time. Have used this program as my X10 brain for years, very reliable. One of the few good X10 programs to support the Smarthome USB interfaces. Using VBscripts you can add your own functions, such as appending to a logfile on a webserver or setting IM status based on events.
Cons
Won't trigger rules based on events sent by itself, which should be configurable. Clunky update interface that updates regardless of whether it's needed, and they don't update the version number on their support site for manual update. Needs a rule function for time delay before continuing instead of having to use scheduler.
