I would like to have the ability to execute (from macros or timed events) a number of commands from the Tools menu - specifically the "Download Timers and Macros" and "Clear Interface Memory" commands. A great number of folks find themselves executing these commands (to fix problems) a number of times from the AHP program.
I would suggest if these commands could be executed from macros (and timers) they could be set up to execute automatically (as long as the CM15A was attached ) as an automated task and keep things running smoothly even while the owners were away.
Of course if the "remove batteries" ritual was necessary this wouldn't help, but I've found a good percentage of the time the use of these commands is all that is necessary (sometimes the Clear Interface isn't needed). -:)
Just a thought.

(sometimes the Clear Interface isn't needed).
I've been running a Home Automation Computer 24/7 for the last two (plus) years. Other than the creative changes I make [to the macros and such] the system needs very little maintenance. I've found the occasional restart is all it really needs.
Although I have meant to automate the restart... I have to admit I haven't done so as-of-yet. But it can be easily done using AHP and the third party program PC Companion <link (http://www.x10community.com/forums/index.php?topic=14508.msg93791#msg93791) written by Tuicemen (from right here at the forum). By-the-way PC Companion (http://www.x10community.com/forums/index.php?topic=14508.msg93791#msg93791) does a whole BUNCH more.
