Title: X10 PC to PC
Post by: Stormy3 on June 02, 2006, 08:00:06 AM

Is it possible to use the X10 to view from PC to PC like a web cam with sound ?

In short, NO.  X10 is a single house system, and AHP is not designed for PC to PC use.

Learn a bit more about the X10 system, which does not require software to run. X10 modules can be controlled by a desktop controller like the MC460.

Stormy: It is posible to view pc to pc but sound isn't supported in any of the x10 software.
If you have the AHP software with the MyHouse plugin you can view and control x10 over the internet PC to PC.
You can also use X10dispatcher to view and control x10 from one pc to another using MSN,email,or the bult in server.
X10dispatcher uses the AHP SDK so it can be used with the usb firecracker (cm19a I think) or the Cm15a (AHP)
you can use sound to some degree with this but not streaming video or sound .
