How Home Director Works
The Serial Interface Module sends commands to the device modules for
on-off and Dim control of the connected appliance or lighting through the
house AC power wiring. The Aptiva computer, with Home Director Software
installed, is used to program and send control data to the device modules
via the Serial Interface module. The data interface is RS232 Industry
Standard.
