Tonight's update corrects several bugs
introduced in 3.177:
- Fixed a problem that prevented AHP from
running on Win98/ME systems.
- Fixed problem with displaying update items
in the update notice window on Win98/ME.
- Fixed a problem that caused previously
selected geographic location to be lost. You
will need to select your city again, if you
haven't already.
- Corrected use of wrong default data for
Dusk/Dawn with no city selected.
- Fixed problem with Preferences selections
not saving correctly.
- Fixed Hardware Configuration not saving
manual selection of transceived House Codes.
- Fixed Macro Designer not refreshing
selector correctly when using Set/Clear Flags.
- Removed seconds display of interface time
from Hardware Configuration.
You can download the installer directly from
here:
http://software.x10.com/pub/applications/activehome/ahp_updt.exe
There's an outstanding problem with the way
that RF macro commands are being encoded. We
will fix that tomorrow.
-
Sorry, there are still bugs!
1) The cities do not show up when selecting
location. If I uncheck show US and Canada,
the program locks up.
2) The transceiver house codes do not stay
checked when "specific" is selected, at
least they do not show when returning.
3) The "help" function does not work.
I have not tried to reinstall the 3.175
version on my Windows 98SE PC, yet.
-
I loaded the V3.178 software on my Windows
98SE PC. The "help" and "location" function
seem to work. The "monitored housecode"
and "specific" settings do not stay when you
leave the program and return.
-
The "monitored housecode" and "specific"
settings were blank immediately after the
3.178 update. Also, Hdw Conf Interface did
not retain old settings and had to be reset
manually. After update and resetting codes ,
location etc, if AHP 3.178 was started
without the CM15A plugged in Location and
Transceived house codes were not maintained.
If the CM15A is plugged into computer when
AHP is started , all transceived codes and
location setup were reloaded and appeared
normal. Everything else seems to be working
normal. All modules and timers.
Setup:XPPro/SP2+allMSupdates/DualP3/NortonAV

Updated to from 3.177 to 3.178 and A Home
won't launch. Comes up with error cannot
launch program. Tried twice. same results.
Re-installed v 3.175 from posted link and
all worked fine again. Re-installed 3.178 &
still errors. Back to 3.175 and works again.
Running Win 2k on a pentium 4 system
Just thought I'd let someone know.

Version 3.178 bugs
My Transceived House Codes were reset
to "None"
My custom coordinates were reset to 122.34
W and 47.61 N.

Trivia...
David posts the 1st bug report just 36
minutes after version 3.178 update is
posted. I think that's a new record.

Eugene,
Where did you find the posted link to 3.175?

ALL Seems A-OK ??
Upgrade to 3.178 was without errors.
------------------------------------
Overnight run of 3.178, Pulled CM15A from
utility room and plugged into computer for check.
1. Hardware configuration was normal.
Location, house codes and transceived codes
retained ok. (Monitored House Code set to A,
Transceived House Codes Set to SPECIFIC B,C
and D)
2. Time check at 7:00am via overnight timer/
chime was right on the minute.
3. Preferences remained marked ok
4. Battery Time seems to be counting down
very accurately for time removed from power.
5. Timers tranversing midnight worked on time.
6. Clear Interface memory only takes 10-15
seconds. Download timers and macros takes
less than 10 seconds.
Have 20 modules, 3 timers, no macros (Macros
are next) All seems to run ok.
Maybe I need to install some macros to give
my setup a real run for her money ?
Platform: XPPro/SP2 w all MS updates/ Dual

I have just purchased ActiveHomePro kit, the
software link installed version 3.168, this
has worked fine for me. Last night
the "update available" came on , I made a
very bad mistake to upgrade to v3.178, none
of my micros ( activate my motion sensors)
worked. After several reinstall I give up
and managed to reinstall v3.168.Is there any
way to download v3.178 full version so I do
not need to connect to internet. So far
v3.168 appears to work fine for my needs.
I believe I should have a choice to install
from internet or save to disk then install.
-
for Carmine,
My update to 3.178 did not work at first
either. Everything in the hardware
configuration went to a default that did not
work for me but after resetting location and
transeived codes etc...all worked ok.
I am on XPPro/SP2 with all sub updates...
regards, Steve

We'll take a look at the problems loading
saved settings today. They're working for me
on my PC, but I'm sure there's something
wrong that we'll be able to find.
-
Looks like we are making progress. 3.178
appears to be working, now back to analyzing
the hardware. My CM15A has some odd
behaviour at times. Gremlins?

I found the link to 3.175 is in one of the
comments in the "3.177 released " forum.
it is as follows
http://software.x10.com/pub/applications/acti
vehome/ahpupdt_175.exe
I was able to overwrite the 3.178 install
without uninstalling it.
Hope this helps.
-
Eugene,
Thanks, that is what I was looking for.

Just updated to 3.178 with Win98SE. Seems to
work except for the following: 1 Label
printer makes 2 labels, one for 1 to 8 and
one for 9 to 16 why? Remotes like RT504 etc
have a switch to so you can control all 16
devices. Why would you have 2 labels? 2
Battery status always shows 00. 3 Some
modules (appliance, 2 pin for sure) do not
update status when s/w is started (only
update if turned on/off when s/w is on). 4
Under "hardware config" the default was all
to monitor all house codes. Now you can
only monitor codes that have a module setup
to a house code. You can change
to "specfic" to add other codes to monitor,
but when you next turn on the s/w, "auto"
has been selected and only house codes with
a module assigned are ticked off.

len: We'll be making some changes to the
printing schemes, since others have requested
the same thing you have. The problem of
hardware settings not being saved on Windows
98 PCs will be fixed in the next update.
-
Thanks for reply x10. What about status of
modules on s/w start up? Battery status has
never worked on win98se either.
-
Richard,the HR12a has 16 buttons all in one
row under each other! Labels print out as 2
labels 1-8 and 9-16 no good for HR12, try it
you'll see.

I wonder if there are two different HR12's.
Mine has 8 label section, 8 on buttons and 8
off buttons. Two dim buttons up-down and one
1-8 9-16 selector switch. The only way to
accomodate all 16 information would be to
split the label in half 1-8 and 9-16 on the
same area. This would mean to reduce the
font to near illegible.
-
Richard, print the label, I don't think it
will work for your unit.
-
When I print labels from the FireCracker
software, it splits it in two labels that
are touching each other so that you can
fold it in half. The ability to put it all
on one label sounds cool, but I would like
the flexibility to print either way.
-
I think accomodating multiple ways of
printing is the way we'll go.

can you tell me when v3.179 is coming, to <BR>cure these clock lockup problems?
