Using AHP and a wireless transciever
« on: November 10, 2006, 10:56:06 AM »

i am using activehome pro and the interface is in my bedroom (near my computer). i want to put another wireless transciever in my living room to make sure the wiress signals from my palmpad are received. sometimes it causes my lights to go on then off then back on again. is the second wireless transciever messing up the AHP interface? and how can i stop this from happening?

...sometimes it causes my lights to go on then off then back on again.

Without more information about your setup, I'm not sure why this is happening.

However, your first option should be to try and get the CM15A to be the ONLY Transceiver. If possible, try a new location or look at enhancing the antenna's reception.

Have you verified that the PalmPad's RF is NOT reaching the CM15A as opposed to the CM15A's PLC NOT reaching your Livingroom light?

If you have to use a second Transceiver, then make sure the housecode you use is set to NOT Transceive in the CM15A. This will at least avoid power line collision / repeats.

Keep in mind that if you are using Macros to be triggered from the address/unit codes of the second Transceiver, then you run the risk of them being triggered via PLC as well as RF whenever the CM15A does receive your PalmPad signals. This could be why your lights are acting as stated above.

If you don't want / need AHP control of your livingroom, then make sure the second Transceiver and it's receiving modules are on their own housecode. And just make sure AHP & the CM15A do not have anything Modules nor Macros on that housecode (as well as not Transceiving it.)

As puck  stated:"More information of your setup is needed"
What is the other transceiver?
Do you have the cm15a set to Not transcieve that house code!As puck stated as well.
It could very well be noise wich is causing the strange behavour!
Do a search for noise it will provide you with lots of helpful info! ;)
