Welcome to the home of Zeus Home Control

X10 Home Automation Control Software for Windows

Zeus is a Windows based home automation program for controlling lights, appliances, and security around the home. Control events can be scheduled for a specific time or triggered by conditions defined by the homeowner. Sophisticated Scenes and macros can be created and tailored to the homeowner's needs.

Change in Daylight Saving Time in the United States
The U.S. has changed the dates for Daylight Savings Time beginning in 2007. The new dates will be from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November. Zeus Home Control used to have a built-in calculation for Daylight time but we changed it several years ago to accommodate the different dates used in different countries. Therefore, the current version of Zeus will pick up Daylight Savings dates from Windows. So, if Windows gets it correct, then Zeus should be correct too.
