Good to hear. I don't use the web console often but I'm glad they fixed it.

Is anyone still using this option to control X10 via their phone? I had x10 commander, but got a new phone and can't get it to work. It's driving me nuts

Where do I get Broadlink  RM4? Does it work with Alexa?

Is your system back? Mine is not yet.
Thanks for your response.

@ips sent you a PM

Thanks. Do you have any current apps which would take the place of Commander. What if the developer says he'd give the source code?
I've gotten away from coding since retiring. So I no longer support any applications I created in the past. However links to download them in the SDK section here may still work. These were mostly accessible though a browser not a phone app except for TAC which was an android app.
 You maybe able to access X10commander from your new phone using the browser and the ip and port X10commander is using.as the url. The developer may give you some more info on how to do this.

Thank you. WIll this let you control the devices with an internet connection, wifi and cellular? Any screen shots?

Here's a screenshot. Note that while I learned a number of devices I only set up one scene called "World" for testing as shown at the top (it turns the globe on & off). All of the devices (shown as J1, J2, etc.) can be renamed to whatever you like.  I bought the RM4 Pro for testing and as a backup for the Smartenit P2.

I use the broadlink RM as well as the WM100 for internet control.
There are several HomeAutomation programs out there that allow internet control of X10 and will install on your computer. Even HomeGenie will install on a computer.

There are also programs made to mesh with Alexa and or Google Home like TriggerCMD or HA-Bridge which you could either use their interface or the Alexa app with your phone. Thought you'd have to do a bit of coding to make them talk to x10.
The X10 commander simply used the Activehome SDK so those apps could do the same.
I had created  several applications that ran on a PC and used the SDK which were accessible from a phone.

Although the X10commander app is nolonger available you may still be able to send commands to the pc application.
If the pc application has a UI you could log into in from the internet and turn things on/off. >!

Since you already have a CM15a, I think your easiest and least expensive solution ($40) would be to add a Broadlink RM4 Pro, specifically this one that handles the 310MHz that x10 uses: https://amzn.to/3Pv3Xwl  The description says 315MHz but it handles 310 as well. I have one and it works perfectly.

The Broadlink will learn all the X10 codes and commands you need by programming it with a Palm Pad.  The CM15a will respond to the commands turning things on and off or triggering schedules.  As a bonus, you can use Alexa or Google Assistant for voice control. 

Other options are the Smartenit P2/G2 but they're out of stock and more expensive.  X10 offers the WM100 WiFi controller but it will not work with Alexa/GA, is limited to 32 devices and is more expensive.

If you want to delve deeper and roll your own, there's the Home Genie program which runs on a Raspberry Pi if you want to pursue that path.

I know this is older, but X10 commander is no longer in the app store. I got a new iphone and while the icon is on my desktop, it won't work as it wants to hit apples servers first. The app still works on my old iphone but that's not helping.

Has anyone found work around? X10 commander lets you control your X10 devices with a cm15a from anywhere with an internet connection.

If you want to change your HA software, you could look at HomeGenie and use the mobile app.  If you are happy with your setup, I would skip that option though as the developement was stagnant for several years and, even with the renewed updates, the community is dead.  I still use it for my setup but I can't currently recommend it to new users.  It's great, but there are other great options that have a user base that has a way to communicate to the developers as well as to other users.
