HEYU is a text-based program for remotely controlling lights and appliances in the home or office.

Heyu uses the CM11A computer interface to send X10 control signals over the AC power lines to modules which can turn On, Off, or Dim attached lamps or appliances. It can store a schedule of timed events in the CM11A memory for execution when the computer is turned off or disconnected. Heyu can also use an optional CM17A interface to transmit X10 RF signals.

Here are some key features of "HEYU":
Highly configurable and able to transmit and receive any X10 signal supported by the CM11A.
Monitor and/or log all X10 signals on the power line.
Maintain a record of the state (On, Off, Dim level) of modules based on received or transmitted X10 signals. A variety of different lamp and appliance module types are supported as well as a few specialty modules like RCS-compatible thermostats and remote thermometers.
Execute scripts or commands based on received or transmitted X10 signals and the recorded states of modules.
Upload schedules of timed events and macros to the CM11A memory for operation without a computer.
- Events may be scheduled for execution at local clock times or relative to the times of daily Dawn or Dusk.
- Schedules may be uploaded for the calendar year, or alternatively for a period beginning on the current date and extending a year into the future.
- Event dates and times are automatically adjusted for Leap Years and periods of Standard and Daylight Time.
Control multiple CM11A interfaces connected to different serial ports on the same computer.
With an optional CM17A device, transmit X10 RF signals to a transceiver for conversion to power line signals (possibly on a separate branch of the AC line), or to an X10 RF receiver connected to a different computer. Any RF signal supported by the CM17A may be transmitted.
