When is an upgrade to AHP going to happen
Dan Lawrence:
The last good release of AHP is 2.228 dated 5-09-2008. Is X10 even, with the dearth of programmers, planning on a good release any time in the near future?

The technology has changed so much since the introduction of the CM15A/AHP. The CM11A is all but completely gone... the price for the CM15A with all the software... is now way down there ($39.99). I expect to see a NEW interface to be released. Maybe one that connects to the PC wirelessly via WiFi or a special dongle. Maybe.... an interface with a decent antenna!

Maybe! I was going by the old retail way of selling.
* New products are put on sale... this recoops the investment (and repays the creditors).
* Then the product is sold at "regular price" (what is believed to be what the market will bare) also called: profit taking.
* Then the product is marked on sale... and then clearance. Which provides capital for restock.
The technology has changed so much... a new design could possibly be manufactured much cheaper (yet sell at the old "regular price"). I could be wrong... but I bet China has some programmers there now too.
When I bought Active Home (CM11A) it was HighTech.... and at a great NEW low price. The next thing I knew... the CM15A (AHP) was introduced and AH was $10. When I bought AHP... I got "smart macros" for FREE (saving myself $50). I had to buy Iwitness and OnAlert later.

In other words, a fortune hunter or Ouija board might have a good idea when - maybe.
