Welcome to the future. Now you can enjoy the security, safety
and convenience of GE SmartHome technology without expensive rewiring or
professional installation. Inexpensive and easy to set up,
GE SmartHome technology allows you to control home lighting and appliances
wirelessly.
Imagine the nervous
feeling of coming home at night to a dark house. Now imagine
the secure feeling of being able to turn on indoor and outdoor lights while
still 100 feet away from your house. Or imagine the safety
of turning on a light in a dark basement with the touch of a button- while still
at the top of the stairs. Or the convenience of starting to
brew your morning coffee- while still in bed!
GE SmartHome products allow homeowners to control lights and
appliances with RF (radio frequency) signals. There are two
types of products- transmitters and receivers. At least one
of each is required to create a SmartHome system, but one transmitter can be
used with several receivers. The transmitter (functions as a remote control)
sends the RF signal to the receiver (which is plugged into an outlet and the
appliance is plugged into this receiver). The receiver then
turns on the appliance.
Both the transmitters and receivers have a dial with eight different
positions that allows the homeowner to control up to eight appliances
with one transmitter. All eight appliances can be turned on at
the same time or they can be turned on individually. For example, lights
on the front porch can be set on channel 1, lights inside on channel 2, and the
coffee pot on channel 3. With just the turn of a dial the
transmitter can be set to channel 3, to turn on the coffee, and none of the
lights will be affected. If you wanted all
three appliances to turn on at the same time you could set them all to the same
channel.
