Is there any possibility that this will
ever work properly and be dependable?

Once again cannot connect. Also the few
times I can connect, then I cannot get
video. When? Oh when?
Title: Re: Welcome to the MyHouse Online forum!

to connect or is X10 server still not

Sure wish X-10 would post an email to its
subscribers when the service goes down and
when they expect it to be up again..... this
has been a very frustrating evening

Two days with no connection. Someone needs
to get on the ball and correct the server
problem !

We're working on it. I'm sorry for all the
problems so far.

X10Pro
Todays email aid is touting an internet
control center package. Is this something
to replace the current software that seems to
have so many problems ?
If you can't get MyHouse online working
properly, will this be offered free as a
replacement ?
Thanks,
Joe

Good question Joe. That is if that one
works.

X10.When will we be able to use what we
have paid for and be in a position to
consistently have it working?
Title: Re: Welcome to the MyHouse Online forum!
Post by: X10 Pro on January 10, 2006, 06:26:03 PM
The package in today's e-mail isn't a new
piece of software. It's a bundle of existing
products.

We made a couple changes to the server today
that we think should help the problems that
you've been seeing. We're going to continue
to work on this and I hope to have it all
resolved this week.

I could finally connect from home last
night, but at work I cannot.

Is this due to the firewall or something?
I hope not as no employee will have any
control over that (which essentially
prevents the controlling the system
from 'Anywhere in the World').....

Cheers,

Ant

few questions for X10 Pro

Is it possible to access the still or video
from the remote computer? just like webview
that I have.

Is it possible not to remember the password
entry from the remote computer? for
security issue.  Again, just like the
webview.

Is it possible to enable and disable
still/snap/video function from the remote?
Icons are there, but does not seems to work.

Can I customize the multi cameras view? in
such that 2x4 2x3 and etc..., currently
default to 2x2 3x3 ..

I still cannot receive video remotely. What
causes the status to indicate "video
connection closed" when I have done nothing?

Is the server not working again?

Does anyone believe that by running Windows
XP and using the Remote connection within it
one may access their Active Home Pro
software (Remotely)and be able to complete
do away with these clown's server and their
MYHouse Bull*%#t software?

You could do that.  Your computer would need
to be accessible via RDP across the
internet.  Not for me but if that's OK with
you, it would work fine.  You would actually
have more functionality because you would
have full console access.

Thanks for the response Marty! I thought
that it might be able to work, now I just
have to upgrade this remote computer to XP!

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a multi-
channel protocol that allows a user to
connect to a computer running Microsoft
Terminal Services. Clients exist for most
versions of Windows, and other operating
systems such as Linux. The server listens
by default on TCP port 3389. The Remote
Desktop Connection software is pre-
installed with Windows XP. To run it, click
Start, click All Programs, click
Accessories, click Communications, and then
click Remote Desktop Connection. Search the
web for more info.

The worse part is the support, I just got
off the phone with them and was disapointed
again. I have purchased every add on
availible. i.e. all the software for the
old X10 and now for the new AHP except for
the new My House, I called to see if I
could get the new software for free since I
had already spent 150 bucks on the other
software and they are offering it all for
49 dollars, they of course said no way!
Sorry X10 you have lost another loyal
customer.

Wallace,
You would not be happy with the product
anyway! I bought it to remotely monitor my
property and it is very unreliable! Server
drops all of the time, connections don't
make, cameras work when they want to! Don't
waste your money!

There is an option to Smart Macros (SM) and
MyHouse (MH) if you're a little technically
inclined and want to play around with it.
It's called
http://www.homedomination.com/ ... the
downside is that you have to leave your
computer running (works with CM11 and CM15
but doesn't store the data in the
controller) and it's not as pretty as MH or
SM but it seems to have it's advantages ...
like it works.

I bought AHP, I-witness and MH as a package
deal, after being misled by a salesperson
that I probably wouldn't need SM.  When I
found out that I did need SM, they wanted
me to pay full price, but said that I had a
voucher for $22 that I could apply.  Well,
thinking $28 was better than $50, I went
for it.  They only gave me a $16 credit
because they charged me $6 for shipping
(for a download???)  After several emails
and 6 phone calls, I still haven't received
the credit ... I know it's only $6, but
it's the principle.

Post by: Rob E on January 21, 2006, 01:47:45 PM
Sorry, I had to do this in 2 posts.

Then, I installed MyHome and found that I
have to use their server (I must have
missed that part in the fine print) to talk
from my notebook downstairs to the computer
upstairs that's got the CM15 attached ...
and that doesn't even work that great.  I
can update the file upstairs, like changing
a macro by mapping a drive to the file on
my desktop but that's about it.

With Home Domination, I can view my cams,
activate lights remotely and even start
macros, plus I have greater control.
There's just something about running my
data thru X-10's server that spooks me,
especially when I'm just trying to
communicate in my own home.

I guess X10 isn't concerned about building
customer loyalty or repeat business.  My
lowly advice, wait until X10 gets there act
together and responds to some of the
requests of their users, or pay the price
and deal with the issues.
