Title: AHP backup history
Post by: jlp on November 20, 2007, 07:05:12 PM

Hello,

I apologize for my English writing. Il am a french people and I have some difficulty to write in English ( Translated by google).

I made a little program with ACCESS (Microsoft) and X10Dispatcher which calculates the duration of operation of my electric heater and my hot water tank. I can calculate the cost of electricity and optimize the adjustment of the thermostats.

I want to simplify my system. Is it possible to program a daily backup history AHP. I want to connect my ACCESS program at the backup file, which will allow me to monitor many more systems.

Thank you very much for your reply.

As far as I know there is no way to backup AHP's history.  AHP gives only the options to keep or erase the history file.  The only way to backup the AHP data files (*.ahx) is back the them up to separate media, like a backup folder on another hard drive or on USB media like flash drives.

jlp,

If you know how to write programs you can try using the "Active Home Pro SDK".

You can find it at: http://www.x10.com/activehomepro/sdk/index.html (http://www.x10.com/activehomepro/sdk/index.html)

If you do not know how to program, maybe I can write something that will work for you.

I wrote a little program with AutoHotKey and I am now able to do a backup each day. It will change my ACCESS program and I can monitor 16 components at the same time. I can also archive the events for an indefinite period.

Thanks.
