Entry 973: Attach an appliance module to your television and set it to go on at random times during the days your gone. (make sure the volume is at a slightly higher level so it can be heard from outside your house).It might not hurt to set up a lamp module to light up a hallway or bathroom light during the late evening hours. -- Greg Klobuchar

Entry 966: x10 amazing technology, not only satisfies the gadget minded but also provides the piece of mind that no other security system can. it provides security buy giving people the information needed without spending hours on anoying little timers arround the house which never seem to work. the alarm features such as the exterior motion lights give you the ability to discreetly notify you of an intruder or for the wife or single person the ability to trigger events which will truly confound even the season thief namelly the barking dog chime and ability to turn lights on in different locations in the house to notify that people are there.... let's see an alarm system do that.... not..... so if your a fan of the future.... why not enjoy the future now with x10....safety...security...and science.... today and into tommorrow... -- Matthew francis

Entry 1035: I am setting up 4 motion sensor flood lights on each corner of the house. best way to keep an intruder out is to catch him before he can get into the house! I also have a macro that turns on the house lights in my upstairs bedroom, (10 seconds later) then hall, (5 seconds later) then a bedroom nearest the sensor that went off, (30 seconds) i then have the bottom floor lights go on one at a time. (20 seconds later) i open the garage door (inside house door is always locked), that makes a big racket and should scare any would be their off the premises. i also have a button by the bed to reverse the process. also to make life a little easier, i found that my neighbor has put in a Hawkeye II in his mailbox to notify him when the mailman comes. I found the code and have rigged it up to sound a chime in my house. since the mail man comes to his house first, it gives me a chance to get my mail and run out to the mailbox before he gets to my mailbox.-- Charles Oliveria

Entry 1538: When on vacation or extended absence from home I have hawkeye II motion sensors set up to monitor the doors and windows in my house. They are set to trip a chime module in my next door neighbors house, in case someone tries to break in. -- Paul W. Davis
