The Complete Home & Entertainment Solution !
Key Features:   BENEFITS:
Replaces 8 remotes.
Includes separate satellite, CD and X-10 Home Automation buttons.
Extensive library includes codes for most TVs, VCRs, Stereos, etc.
Easy to setup - just look up the code for the TV, VCR etc. and enter it into the remote using a simple key sequence.
Learning function to record commands from existing remotes.
Complete with built in X-10 Radio Transmitter for control of add-on Home Automation devices.
  Learning :
The learning function ensures that the remote will work with any audio/visual product, no matter how obscure.
Teaching the remote a new set of codes is carried out by pressing the key sequence to initiate programming and placing the two remotes so that they face each other. Each key on the original remote is then pressed in sequence followed by its corresponding key on the 8-in-1 remote.
Room-to-Room Control :
With the RF function, the remote can be used together with an IR Powermid to allow audio/visual components such as a satellite receiver to be controlled from any room in the home.

  The 8-in-1 remote also generates the codes for X-10 Home Automation functions, allowing it to be used in conjunction with the TM12 Transceiver module, to switch and dim lighting, turn On/Off appliances and send commands to X-10's ActiveHome software in order to carry out a sequence of Automation events simultaneously.
     
By purchasing the 8-in-1 remote,
you have taken the 1st step in building a
Complete Home & Entertainment System !
     
System overview:    
First and foremost, the 8-in-1 remote is truely the most flexible Universal Remote Controller that you will ever purchase !

It has been designed to replace up to 8 remote devices and with its Learn function, will also replace the most obscure !

The 8-in-1 remote transmits both Infra-red and Radio signals when any button is pressed. This feature allows devices such as TVs, VCRs and Stereos etc, to be controlled using the 8-in-1 remote from the same room or other rooms, providing the correct receiver unit is installed.
 
Entertainment Example 1 :
Watching a video on the bedroom TV, when the VCR is downstairs. This is easily achieved due to the 8-in-1 transmitting Radio signals to the Powermid unit which is situated facing your VCR in the living room. The Powermid retransmits these signals in Infra-red which in turn commands the VCR to Play, Stop, Rewind, etc.
     
Home Automation : By adding the TM12 transceiver unit, you can now control electrical appliances, lamps and lights from the same 8-in-1 remote ! How does it work ? Example 2 : As previously mentioned, the 8-in-1 remote can transmit Radio signals. These signals are intercepted by the TM12 and retransmitted in electrical signals which are sent around your house electrical wiring system.
 
These signals are picked up by small plug-in modules (similar to a multi-adaptor). The modules in turn react by switching On/Off or Dim/Brighten whatever electrical device has been plugged in !
     
Summary :
You can either buy the 8-in-1 remote separately or purchase one of two starter kits :
 
     
. TS 700-Kit ( Home Automation Starter Kit ) containing the 8-in-1 remote and the TM12 transceiver module.
. Powermid Plus (Entertainment Starter Kit) containing the 8-in-1 remote and the Powermid RF/IR sender.
If you purchase the Home Automation kit, you can control up to 16 lamp and /or appliance modules and you can extend this to a maximum of 256 modules by using our ActiveHome Personal Computer Interface and software .

The Powermid Plus can also control your Home Automation, provided you add the TM12 transceiver module which can be purchased separately.
