If you purchase the 1132CUP you
get “Smarthome Manager Plus” equivalent to
AHP with smart macros; the interface is
different, no fancy graphic and no annoying
embedded advertising(and yes you get a CD +
you can download upgrades to you computer),
once you understand how it works, you can
make very complex macros( impossible with
AHP).
So far has worked flawless, I only connect
to the computer to change the program, the
clock is very accurate, and no battery to
replace ever, you can leave it unplugged
for months and the moment you plug back in
it will work, no need to connect to the
computer.
I have several complex macros, I was unable
to create equivalent functionality using
AHP, all triggered by motion detector (
using both motion and the dark command
combined).AHP has only 3 conditions,
Smarthome has no limit( you just use more
memory; another great feature ( hard to
understand for first time user)
is “Sequences”; if you have a series of
commands used in more than one macros
(conditions, delay,event step …) you can
create a sequence the just include the name
in the macro, it used as a subroutine.
The CM15a will eventually be redesigned,
even the Microcontroller used has serious
flaw, and the vendor(Cypress) will not fix
it, and there is no reliable work around.
