I had the old active home (with the CM11A) myself... I wasn't impressed. You will be much happier with the AHP with the CM15A. X10 rarely removes a sale Page... so as a new items prices drops... the old ads ones remain up. It can be confusing! Sign-up for the "newsletter" to get the latest-greatest deals. But don't send them to your work email address... filters sometimes see the ads as spam... and the images are near softporn.

The $49.99 deal with the entire software suite AND some extra device (like a module, or remote) [included free] is the best deal I have seen. Which "extra device package" is best for you... is your call... the device you have a good use for is likely your best bet. 

After you receive the CM15A... you might experience RF range issues. There are many easy antenna mods and fixes posted here if you do. You can also "convert" your old active home files to the new AHP format. But the activehome software won't drive your new interface.

Brian H:
I believe Deal C was the one I found awhile back.

Nate2:
With all those different links, people are going to be clicking frantically all over x10.com to find the best configuration.
Generates many hits on x10.com  ;)

I'll see if I can the $15 Gift Certificate (for newsletter subscription) to apply towards my AHP purchase.

Looks like that is for New Customers only.
(X10 informed me that I have been shopping with them since 1999)

Now how about a Old/Loyal Customer discount, eh?  -:)
