My system has been running pretty well. I have a TM751 issue that makes no sense, but the modules work. ..er "workED -
Dedicated Dell Latitude, XP Pro - SP3, AHP w/ all Plugins, SR731 & V572, CM15a w/ 9" coat hanger piece soldered to the CM's antenna. (can't find plastic tube at 2 hobby shops :'()
All sensors reach the DS7000, and all sensors reach the CM15. I've adjusted the crap out of my macros so that things happen in the order and with the quickness I want.
Then some well-meaning dude posts on this forum about a free wiz-bang video capture program that is much better than AND works with, X10. So I tried it. No big deal, so I shut it off.
Mr. Murphy wasn't happy. Things started NOT happening. The Activity monitor and AHP started "seeing" only those devices within about 14˝ feet away. So I went through the routine of "re-positioning" the CM15.
Long story shortened: I uninstalled the wiz-bang video program and AHP and reinstalled AHP. Things are back to normal. Sensors are reporting in on schedule, the Activity monitor is capturing everything, and things go on & off when they're supposed to.
I guess the moral of the story is, "If AHP is operating and controlling devices - and it's working - don't add anything that "uses" AHP's resources!" or - If it ain't broke, don't screw with it! ::)

............... If it ain't broke, don't screw with it! ::)
We have to keep trying new things and growing our systems.... and not everything works as we hope ether. The great thing about having a Home Automation Computer is gained [for trying new things?]. I keep my back-up ahx and BVC configuration files on a flash drive... and I name them by date.
Before.... I install a new device or program.... I create a restore point. It is then a very simple matter to restore things to the way they were.
