Have a MS14a running in conjuction with a socketrocket....turns on the lgiht fine...however the off code isnt always registered after the 2 minute setting...sometimes it takes 4 minutes sometimes it doesnt shut off at all...I even got a a PTZOFF command from AHP.   ANy idea what that could be?

What is a PTZOFF  command from AHP?   Never saw or heard of it, and a Google search does not even mention AHP or X10 in 5 pages of hits.
I don't SELL this stuff... BUT I sure do ENJOY using it!!!

You sure it's not a "PLC" off command showing up?

If the socket rocket turns on fine, I must ask you if you have a CFL in it.

could be that the CFL is producing too much noise for the socket rocket to "hear" the off command.

Maybe a little more info will help us all out.
Remote control is cool,
but automation rules!

PTZOFF Turn off Vanguard Cameras.
Found the command in the AHP SDK documentation for AHP Scripting.

Do you have any of the AHP Plug In's or X10 camera software on the computer?

Thanks for replies all...not using any CFL's.....no camera software installed either.....i set the motion dector off at 3:55 socket rocket went on as usual....it is now 4:01 and the off signal still hasnt been registered in AHP..Attached a screen shot so you can see...

this light is about 20 ft from my computer and I know it is not an rf problem

Try putting the two devices on different unit codes, don't have both on B1.   Also, don't use MyHouse.ahx, give it a new name.  MyHouse.ahx is one of two sample .ahx files that come with AHP.
