Title: Timer problems
Post by: paet101 on February 28, 2015, 12:21:10 PM

I have several timers and macros linked to dusk/dawn. A few weeks ago the timers started activating about 30minutes earlier every day. I've never seen ths issue before. I have 1) re-downloaded the program, 2) changed the batteries and 3) moved the Control Module (CM15A) to a few different plugs in the house but nothing works.

Any ideas?

I have been using X10 for >10 years and I've had some intertesting issues but this is a new one!

Old Geezer is working from ancient memory, but, doesn't AHP have a randomizing "Security" setting? Maybe it got accidently activated(?).

Have you checked the Hardware Configuration. To verify your location is correct?
Are you running the CM15A with the computer connected all the time?

Every year there are several post like this around day light savings times.
Be sure your PC time and dates are correct as well as your location as Brian mentioned.
Also if your not running the most current version of AHP it may be time to move to it and back up the version your currently running incase you need to revert to it.
