A Simple Thrill

I told you I would be back:)

So I gave some thought to my 2nd official blog post (this is a big one - it could make or break the whole thing) and I came up with this...

I want to start at the very beginning - the FIRST TIME I tried ActiveHome. Now before you continue I will give you this warning - these are real experiences not just cheezy attempts to sway you... now that that is out of the way.. here we go.

The first time I plugged in ActiveHome and fired up the install - I was skeptical to say the least. I was new to X10 and had yet to be schooled in the X10 way of life. I went downstairs put a lamp module into the wall and went back upstairs and looked at the computer. It had a light switch that was begging me to switch it on.... so I did thinking to myself, this isn't going ot work. So back downstairs I trudged and what did I see when I got to the bottom landing... but a LIT light over in the corner. At that point I was encouraged... so I yelled up to my wife and told her to turn off the light switch on my computer desktop... so she did, and the light turned off... then I yelled up again.. "ON"... so this went on for 4 or 5 more times till she decided she had had enough of my enthusiasm. So I then told her to come downstairs and watch the light for 15 secs... I then proceeded to turn it on 6 or 7 times and let me tell you... SHE was impressed and wanted to know ALL about it (love it when I can show her I am right!)

So... to most that little bit I just typed may seem kinda boring... but to those of you who have experienced the same kind of thing your first time you guys know what I am talking about (hopefully you do at least, or maybe I am just a big tech nerd). So if any of you guys aren't in the ActiveHome Club yet you can go here...

Hi Brandon!

I can definitely relate to your experience.

I just installed a wireless wall switch to dim the livingroom lights, and couldn't stop diming all evening...my wife loved it... :)

I went through the same experience about 10 years ago. I still use X10 like crazy. I got married recently and my wife doesn't get it at all. She always says, just go cut the light on like normal, why can you do that.

I have stuff on timers and motion sensors, and I'm always scheming what else I can add. I LOVE IT!
