Title: Sending commandline with CM19E
Post by: robin69 on June 13, 2006, 11:37:12 AM

Hi,

I am trying to figure out how to send commandline commands from win XP via the CM19E (usb) to control lights on/off and bright/dim. Does anyone know how to do that and does this require any special software?

Best regards
The Newbie

You can use the AHP SDK to do this syntax is ahcmd <sendrf ><housecode+unit#><on/off>
You have to specify where the ahcmd.exe file is EG: c:\ahpsdk\ ahcmd SendRF A1 ON
Also do a search on google for firecracker software there are some commandline ones there and they may work with the CM19A ;)

Hi Tuiceman

Thanks for your answer! I asked the same question to the X-10 support and Nathan Nils answered that Activehome doesn't support CM19E(europe). But perhaps the SDK does?

I haven't got the CM19E yet - so I can't try it out right away.....but I will purchase one now if you say it works with the SDK.

Best regards
Robin

Not 100% sure if the SDK will work with the CM19E it works with the CM19A, and it is free to try! ;)
