Timer problems
« on: August 23, 2006, 10:43:24 PM »

I just upgraded to the CM15A.  I am using this new controller with my existing X10 setup.  When I have it connected to my PC I can control everything in my house with no problems.(I installed a signal bridge)  I rewrote my times and downloaded them to my CM15A.  My current problem is this.  My CM15A will turn on my living room lights with no trouble.  but it will not turn them back off.  I have wiped the interface memory and re downloaded the timers to no avail. 

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

You will need to give more info like:

Are the "timers" AHP (Active Home Pro) macros or actual physical timers?
If you click the controls in AHP to turn the living room lights on, do they come on?
If you then click the controls in AHP to turn them off, do they turn off?

In the real world, the only constant is change.

They are timer in AHP. 
If i click the controls in AHP I can control everything fine on and off


On a side note.  I uninstalled AHP. reinstalled it.  reran the initial startup wizard.  then I reentered my timers again in AHP and everything seems to be working fine.   Or at least they did last night.  time will tell if it keeps on working

Timers can be tricky, some have to be set 24 hours prior to testing to see if they'll work correctly something to do with running day of creation!(don't remember the exact explanation given  2 (almost) years ago! ;) :D The post is buried here somewhere! Or maybe it was lost from the old board?
