Title: Activehome Vista - all on/off
Post by: pcbISHAF on February 09, 2022, 11:59:02 AM
I have just started using ActiveHome Vista after using another software package for many years.  My question is does this software package have the ability to send an all off/on command?  If so, how do you do it?

Thanks,

Phil

I don't know if there are any users of that tool here.  It's been mentioned in the past, but I'm not sure if any of the users involved in that discussion are still around.  If you have AHP and an extra PLC controller you can monitor the commands out of AHV and see if it does what you want.

I don't have a copy of AHP and from I have been able to determine, it will not run on Win 11.

Thanks for your input, though.  I guess I will continue looking for a user manual or an experienced user.

As Brian posted above, your answer (which is 'yes') is right here: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2279/4329/files/CM11A_ActiveHome_Vista_Release_Notes.txt?14146635027518984082

I remember being in touch directly with the author a few years back. He decided to abandon the project owing to a lack of interest in it. Before he wrapped things up he produced this app with some background information. Might be of interest to you but there’s no further support for the project https://active-home-vista.soft112.com/

If you are talking about the Windows version of ActiveHome vista, yes, it does have that ability, in the Actions menu. However, I just tested it, and it doesn't work (does nothing). I'm using ActiveHome Vista 2.5.5 . Last update I got before it disappeared from the Internet. I still use it with a CM17A on my desktop, to turn on the ceiling light and my audio amplifier.

If you are talking about the Android version, no idea.
