Re: Smarthome 1132CU

I am using the program they provide.  They call it "Smarthome Manager
Essential."  I think they have a fancier program for an upcharge,
however, this does all the stuff I want.  If you look on Smarthome's web
site it shows some of the windows, however, I looked at it, but didn't
really understand it until I actually played with it.  I have heard a
few complaints about the software here, but as I implied in the original
post, I found it to be pretty easy to use .... a bit different from what
I expected, but easy.  I never used the manual until I needed a specific
piece of info.
