A week ago I programmed my newly purchased
interface using ActiveHome V3.199.
Everything seemed to go well. I
disconnected the interface from the
computer and plugged it into a centrally
located outlet and for a week the interface
controlled modules as expected. I wanted
to add some more commands to the interface,
so I unplugged the module, brought it to
the (XP) computer, removed the batteries
(because of a 'lock-up' problem with
interface not being recognised), and
plugged it into the outlet and the USB
cable. The unit was identified. I fired
up the ActiveHome S/W and tried to edit a
module's programing. The S/W crashed. I
restarted the S/W and tried to delete and
add programming to a module. Crash again!
I'm hoping this is beginner's poor luck, but
I'm beginning to think this was the worst
$100 I've ever spent. Since I removed the
batteries, I've lost the programming in the
interface and because the program crashes,
I can't reprogram the interface. PS:
I've used Powerhouse on a Macintosh OS6-8
for over 20 years and never had these types
of problems.
