Lights on "A1" come on daily at 3P , on raspberry pi running Heyu with CM11a

Just got raspberry pi 3b, running Raspbian and installed heyu 2.1.  Also i am using TRIGGERcmd to allow using x10 light modules to be operated by voice commands with a google home smart speaker.  Took a while to get working as I know nothing about linux etc.  I am using a CM11a and again it works fine.

But every day at 3 PM lights on A1 come on, and then go off at 4 PM by themselves.  I have created no macros for the CM11a and would not know how to do so anyway. There are no batteries in the CM11a.  I did unplug the CM11a for several minutes to supposedly purge anything in it.  From what little I can research, there are apparently all kinds of config files associated with Heyu. I have looked at them but do not understand their content.

So what is going on? Is there a file somewhere doing this, if so how do I stop it and where is it? Is Heyu doing this, Is the CM11a doing this on its own.  I am at a loss to explain, but want to stop this.

If I do finally get it resolved, I would like to use the timer capabilities of the CM11a and Heyu but have no idea how to do so.

Thanks in advance and am sorry for my ignorance on what I am trying to do here.

Thanks

I don't know anything about Heyu but the CM11 may have something stored and unplugging it won't clear it. You'd have to go into it with AHP and clear the memory.  Of course, the easiest way to solve the problem is to just not use A1 for any of your devices. Personally, I never use House Code A.  If you want to keep everything on one house code you have 15 others to choose from (but avoid M).

As for now I'm forced to use A1 on certain lights because it is tied to our ADT alarm system.  There is a module which flashes a1 AND A2 when alarm goes off which I want to retain.

AHP is that active home pro.  Years ago I had that on an old XP computer.  Is the software still available, if so where.  So I would have to down load it and then what.  Again sorry for the ignorance.

Thanks

OK, I understand the ADT issue. That's changeable but you have to do it from the alarm keypad and find out how.  B:( You can get the CM-11a Active Home software from here: https://thex10shop.com/pages/software-downloads  Others here may be able provide more details on what to do next but you may find the setting once you open it up. You might see the event and be able to delete it or just wipe the whole memory.

Thanks, I think I still have old notebook with a serial port.  Will give it a try
