Steven R: I'm not sure when the next update
will be; we're still working on a few things.
You're having problems with the installation
itself, though, right? That is, the installer
doesn't work for you. I don't know why it
wouldn't complete successfully. How are you
connected to the Internet?

X10 Pro:
My connection hasn't changed. I have a high
speed DSL connection.
Installation always hangs up the same place
regardless if I try to do it from AHP or
the link.

I'd not even try the 3.186 update, it's
worthless.   I did the update, had problems
with Macros & AHP manual commands (turn
lights off and on from AHP interface).  I
wound up de-installing AHP, re-installing
AHP from software I got with original
purchase, updating to AHP 3.183, copying HP
configuration file from last 3.183 backup
then cold loading the CM15A, no problems
for several days now.

Stay away from 3.186, fixes it makes are
not worth the new problems it causes.....

Steven R: I have had problems using other
installers that don't finish properly. I
traced the problem to an UPDATE program for
another application. GO into TASK Manager
and make sure that any programs that notify
of updates are not running. Then try the
update again. This may not be your problem
but it has worked worked for me in the past.

X10 it’s not known for quality, just cheap unreliable product and extremely annoying unsolicited advertise, there are many web sites on how to fix X10 design flaws like http://www.idobartana.com/hakb/index.htm
I switched to 1132CUP, it works great, but if you want the all the functionality of the CM15a (assuming it will ever work) it will cost you a lot more. It’s a simple choice: if you enjoy the trill of weekly updates, with few fixes and a bunch of new problems, stay with X10, or simply move on; it’s evident X10 has no intension of providing quality products.

In all fairness ! Mine works pretty well.
Not sure what is so different with my setup
but, "so far" my CM15A (04J44) diag unit is
working exactly as programmed.  Granted,
there are a few glitches with motion sensor
signals too close together but other than
that my CM15A seems to be performing right on
time.  The update to 3.186 was uneventfull in
that I had no trouble upgrading and it seems
very stable.
Maybe I have a fluke ?  Running  a Dual P3
system with XP/SP2 and all updates, 20
modules, 11 macros, 10 timers.  So far so
good.... OH almost forgot..one problem with
the report system not showing correct flag
status.  I think X10 is workign that one too.

SteveRF

For your application is probably fine, most
of my macros are triggered by motion
detectors, in my case it was not a good
choice. The point I am trying to make is:
X10 is at the bottom of the scale for
price, we can’t expect to purchase a bottle
of French champagne for the price of a
bottle of local beer; they do offer money
back to unsatisfied customers, by now
everyone on these forums knows the short
comings, either accept reality or move on.
It’s evident by X10 Pro answer that they
will only work on software bugs and no
changes are planned on the hardware.
Some people would like the reliability of a
system costing $500 or more for $50, it’s
not going to happen.

AHP has got to be the worst piece of
software I have ever installed in 20 years.
3.186 kept being closed by XP, could't find
the interface, and although XP could, it
said  there was a problem. 3.183 was a bit
happier but disappeared all the city
locations in the pull down menu. It's too
full of adverts to buy this or that - the
active home link at the top and the "There's
an update has gotten in the way of the
window  controls ho wdo you turn them off.
Same with the splash screen, should be
turnoff-able. If I want to buy something,
I'll go to the site, these links to and the
sw 'reporting back' and the inability to
tell it "I don't care about there's an
update." suck. The print option in the old
serial interface software was way superior.
It combined 16 items on one controller
insert, This seems to give no choice but 2
separate inserts, what good is that? How
does a fresh install get done? It seems to
remember stuff (hides settings somewhere) it
shouldn't even when I use a registry cleaner
after deleting and reinstalling. This might
be found flogged on eBay soon. I'll go back
to the serial port one. This was posted on
the software site also, found there's this
forum too.

Gripe
I have no problem with people expressing
positive criticism, but when the constant
whiners go on and on ad nauseatum it serves
no purpose here.
Grant you, X10 is far from perfect, but it
is getting better.
Just wish those Les Miseraables start
farting in the wind.
