Title: Automatic Meter Reading (AMR)
Post by: vcboyd on March 01, 2008, 07:55:31 PM

I have had x10 in my home for about 10 years and had most of the bugs worked out.  About six months ago my local electric co went to an AMR system. Also about three months ago I went to the new controller with active home pro. When I do a find other computers I get a p16  detected in red only towards the end of the month.  I live far enough out in the country as to not be concerned about neighbors  with x10.  I was just wondering if anyone has seen something like this ?

AHP sends out a P16 every time it starts out.   Don't worry about it, just don't assign a module to it.

It has nothing to do with your power company's AMR system.

I've had X10 since the 1980's and my gas & power company went to AMR several years ago and neither the old Active Home or AHP ever noticed it.

Thanks !   My cm11a never saw anything either.  I was just wondering if the carrier signal sent down the line had any impact on x10 controllers.

Thanks again
