On-line Ahx files and mcaro creation?
HA Dave:
Now that X10 seems to be well on it's way to being back into the game with the new WM100. Maybe they should turn a little code writing attention to some on-line preservation of the CM15A.
I've used the Harmony Remotes since.... back when they were just Harmony (before they became Harmony Logitech... then back to just Harmony again). These remote are awesome.... and programmed on-line with the macros/programs then downloaded to the remote. The same could be done with the CM15A.
Rather then develop and entire new set of software products for the CM15A.... why not an on-line (registered) setup that would allow users to create and store their macros (AHX files) with a logon ID. No need [for users] to keep and preserve an X10 enable PC. No need to develop a new set of software products. Just an on-line interface.... that could DL the AHX file to the CM15A.
Knightrider:
Baby steps. They're still trying to figure out how to download to the CM15. ASAIK, no one has picked up the pieces of the AHP code.
Knightrider:
However, at this point, there is no reason that a new AHP lite can't be written at this point that runs strictly off the computer (or Pi) that uses the Wilie 100 as an interface. The only thing missing would be the RF.
Release the protocol to unlock the door.

We may NEVER see that AHP code... or the source code for the WM100.

Why must future HA users own either a PC or Pi.... or android or apple for that matter. More and more people are/have switched to those fancy little portable "transistor radios" they carry around in their hands.
No wait a minute.... those are phones. And people are abandoning home PC's for nice big phones. Macros software (like Alexa's) should be assessable using phones or PC's. Those CM15A's have lots of life and function still left in them.
Knightrider:
I said that because I doubt the WM 100 has enough memory to store "if/and" macros
