Title: CM15A not RFing?
Post by: elmo on January 14, 2011, 05:45:38 PM

Hi all,

Noob here who just got a AHP kit with a CM15A.  I plugged it in after removing the X-10 transceiver I had.  Clicked my X-10 RF remotes and I get nothing.  I have a signal analyzer plugged in beside it and there's nothing indicated.  I plug in the old transceiver and I see valid X-10 signals.  I'd assume that the RF side would just work out of the box.  There's not much in the manual about the RF features.  Is there something I need to do to enable it?  Or do I likely have a busted unit?   :(

I did connect the CM15A via USB to the AHP software and it was recognized, but I have yet to program it.  I did create a room and drop a device on it and was able to switch a light on and off from the AHP.  So I'd assume that side of it is functional.

Thanks

Try Tools:
Hardware Configuration.
Tranceived House Codes.
Sometimes Automatic doesn't work correctly
Try specific and pick the House Codes you what to use. I checked all of them.

That's the ticket.  Auto does nothing for me at all, but specific codes works.

Thanks!

Auto will get AHP to see what House Code is used the most in your configuration and try to set itself to that. I've always found that choosing specific codes works best. Good to hear you got it working! :)
