Title: Socket rocket and CM15A
Post by: tomb on November 10, 2005, 10:10:10 AM

Does anyone know the trick to changing the
house code and unit number of a Socket Rocket
with a CM15A?

Thanks,
Thomas

I belive someone posted a message on how to
do that. Basically they wrote a macro thet
sent the wanted ON code three times with a 1
second pause between the ONs.
Use a table lamp temporarily pluged into the
same or close outlat as the cm15a. Trun on
the table lamps local power switch then send
the macro. Like B2
Turn on lamp
B2 ON
1 second delay
B2 ON
1 second delay
B2 ON.
Then move the LM15a to where you want it
after testing to make sure it actually took
the code.

Thanks again Brian, the macro idea worked
like a charm.

The only problem I have now is getting the
Socket Rocket to work in the lamp I moved it to.

This stuff could keep me busy and out of
trouble for years.  ;-)

You may now have a signal problem. It could
be on the other phase of the homes wiring or
someting is absorbing the signals. Do you
have a phase coupler across the 220 Volt
lines in the home?

I've got a phase coupler/signal booster on
the way.  I've definitely got the classic
symptom - a module that won't work unless the
dryer or stove is on.

Sure sounds like it.
