I updated with the new version (3.180) and
it has caused the same problem that I had
with version 3.175.  I can no longer open
AHP. Could X-10 Tech Support or someone
please tell me what I should do.

Post by: X10 Pro on February 16, 2005, 08:35:49 PM
Gerry: What happens when you run AHP now? Do
you get an error message? If you revert to
3.179 do you have the same problem? What
version of Windows are you running?
Title: Re: ActiveHome Pro update v3.180 available
Post by: louis on February 16, 2005, 08:41:12 PM
When I try to open AHP I get the standard
message telling me that there is a problem
and I should tell microsoft by sending the
automatic note along to them.  Unfortunately
I did not save 3.179, therefore I cannot go
back there.  I am running XPv2.

3.178.

X-10 Tech Support:

I was able to reload the 3.179 version.  Do
you have a similar download that I can do to
load 3.180???
Title: Re: ActiveHome Pro update v3.180 available
Post by: anonymous on February 18, 2005, 12:10:19 AM
I downloaded the 3.180 and my system is now
totally unusable.  I cannot even download to
the inteface.  My timers do not work.  The
time  on the hardware configuration shows as
1am no matter what time the software or my
computer says.  I would really appreciate
some help.
Title: Re: ActiveHome Pro update v3.180 available

Gerry: You can install 3.180 again using this
link:

http://software.x10.com/pub/applications/activehome/ahp_updt.exe


anonymous: First off, try disconnecting your
interface from USB, unplugging it, and
removing the batteries. Connect it again and
see if the behavior is any better. If it's
not, are you getting any error messages or
warnings?

X-10 Tech:

I downloaded 2.180 from the address that you
gave to me. It open automatically to 3.180,
but when I closed it, I could not open it
again.  I got an error message to report the
problem to Microsoft.  Please provide help
resolve this problem so I can use 3.180.

Gerry:  Try rebooting your computer.  The
software doesn’t say anything about needing
to do this after installing a new version,
but I find it is often necessary.
Title: Re: ActiveHome Pro update v3.180 available

I just rebooted and got the same error
message.

Hi,
Version 3.18 is worst than before. I loaded
it, rebooted, tryed to unplug the usb and
the batteries. NO DICE! I noticed however
that when I clear the interface memory
repeatedly it does not clear it. To prove it
I disconnected the usb and the batteries and
it still run. When I remove the cm15a from
the wall nothing runs, therfore there are no
other transmitter connected in my house. I
bought a second cm15a to prove it was not an
hardware problem and the problem is still
there. Also it freezes or send different
house codes. I press A1 and it transmits F1.
I used two different HR12a. Finally We need
instruction for RF commands. How does it
works. I caused all kind of problems tying
using it. Please answer quickly MY HOUSE IS
DARK! I use 5 macros that use to run well
with CM11a.

Thanks

Dear X10 Support,
Below, you said "- Updated distributed SDK
files to correct problems with sending RF. "

Where are the updated ahcmd.exe and
ahscript.dll? They are still the same old
versions even after I ran the 3.180 update.
Ahcmd still can't send RF commands and still
crashes every other time it runs.

YO JOE!

We've been asking about the SDK in the SDK
forum...maybe we should follow your lead
and post here.

NEED SOME COMMENTS HERE ABOUT THIS FIX
PLEASE!!!
Title: Re: ActiveHome Pro update v3.180 available
Post by: david k on February 20, 2005, 06:48:36 PM
OK!  So 3.180 fixed some timer issues,
supposedly....
I want to turn outside lights off several
times during the night (motion activated by
wind often).  So I am trying to set a dozen
or so timers to turn off the lights only.
When you get so many timers in the system
it errors out and you get to start all
over, several times in fact.  It seems that
you can only have so many timers before
kaboom!!!
Anybody else having the same problem?

Attn Tech. Support:

I have follow all of your instructions and I
still cannot get 3.180 to load and work.
After installing the software it immediately
loads. After I close AHP and try to restart
it I get the error message. The only choice
I have is to reload 3.179.

Your assistance with 3.180 would be greatly
appreciated.

We're looking into the problem with starting
3.180.
Title: Re: ActiveHome Pro update v3.180 available
Post by: danno on February 23, 2005, 03:35:26 PM
Well, downloaded 3.180 into my newly
received CM15A with debug built-in and it
has broken the 24 hour barrier for me.  I
previously had not been able to use it for
longer than 24 hours without the interface
locking up.  I run disconnected from the PC
and have the macro plug-in.  So far so good
and I'm running the same programming that I
used with the older software and original
interface.  It has gone close to 72 hours
at this point.  Might be too early to say
everything is fixed but it is certainly a
very good sign.

Only one quirk, and that is a chime module
seems to be going off too often and for no
reason.  It is supposed to be controlled by
a macro being triggered by a sensor.  I'll
have to run with a PC attached to determine
what is really happening but I will wait to
worry about that until after I'm sure the
interface is going to keep running for a
couple weeks straight.

Just wanted to fill everyone in on my
status.

Keep getting the error below everytime I try
to access the module.  It had been working.
I have automatic updates on, so it may be
that a windows security update is the
cause.  My lights controlled by the timer
are going on and off at weired times and I
can't get into the software to stop them.
My neighbor's dog is having fits, the old
lady down the street keeps calling me to
tell me my outside lights are on, and my
electric bill is going through the roof.

Anybody have these problems...

I tried to let the thing run on USB.  It
won't trigger RF in a macro with a timer
more than once (for me).    I tried
downloading to interface.  It  gained 15
minutes in two hours and turned  the lights
of early.  Yes I set the  interface time
before I unplugged it.  Yes,  using the
safely disconnet USB features  too.

When I tried to plug the USB back  into the
interface to correct, it would not
recognize the interface.  It only works if
you remove the batteries (for me).

After 2.5 hours I am back using the CM11a
interface.

Does anyone have a work around for THIS!

I have not seen an answer to my problem
regarding not being able to upgrade to
3.180. As I mentioned previously AHP will
not open after the initial upgrade. I have
reverted to an earlier release.

Same problem here, 3.180 will not run without
a crash upon opening.

X10 when will this be corrected?

Same here with 3.180. AHP crashes upon
starting.
