Smart10 is intended for use with the X10 Powerhouse CP290 computer interface. The X10 system is a home automation system which allows remote control of lights, appliances, alarm systems, etc. X10 compatible components are sold by Radio Shack and Heath among others.

The CP290 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 that 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 to 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 based on "conditions" you define and can set or reset.

There is an "immediate" command mode (run from the command line in the DOS version) whereby you can issue direct or delayed commands and cancel pending events.

Smart10 is distributed as shareware.
