My first x10 project

More great advice. The location and time zones are all set right. The Activity logs are a great idea. I will be out for the next 4 nights so I will try things out later in the week. I dont want the system to stop working while I am away. I know how important the WAF is!

I've run a system with somewhere just shy of 200 devices on the x10 protocol

OH! be still my beating heart.

Knight, I am old geezer. Memory retention is on the order of 900 MS to as much a 2.4 seconds. Wife helps by maintaining a fairily regular refresh rate "I thought I told you to [insert task here] this morning....."

OK, still trying to figure this out. For 4 days straight everything worked great after I removed 1 particular CFL. Last night I changed the timers from timed events to dusk to dawn. Well after dawn the porch light was still on. I checked the activity report and x10 sent 4 repeated off commands. I tried to turn off light from the AHP software and nothing worked. (it was working great during the week). When I put "on" and appliance module the porch light went on and off great! Does an "on" module act as a bridge/repeater? If so can you have a dummy appliance module plugged into the wall always on and not connected to anything for a more reliable system? Is that real cheesy?

I can't figure this out. Thanks

Now, what version of AHP are you using?

Porch light was on again this morning. I don't understand what is different these last two mornings as opposed to the earlier 4 mornings this week other than the timer event.

Make sure all modules are correct.  Remember, AHP now has both a Lamp and Old Lamp (No Soft-Start) section your modules must be set properly.  Older (non Soft-Start) modules will not operate properly if the Lamp type is wrong.
