ahp vs x10dispatcher sensibility
« on: February 03, 2008, 11:05:40 AM »

Hello folk !

I installed both ahp and x10dispatcher on my computer, running together.
But x10dispatcher seems to receive more signals from my eagle eye than ahp...

because both software are receiving the signal through the same transceivers and the same physical devices, how is that possible ?

ahp : trigger a macro (switch on a porch light for 5 min when somebody is detected)
x10d : trigger a sound to my computer and send me an e-mail when somebody is detected

thank you

AHP doesn't need to be running to execute the macro you discribed!
Try closing AHP and just running X10dispatcher! ;)
X10Dispatcher doesn't need AHP even installed to work so closing it won't hurt!
You may have uncovered a bug in X10Dispatcher report it in X10Dispatch forums as Dave doesn't frequent this board as regularly! ;)

Hello Tuiceman and thank you for your prompt reply.
BTW, I "need" to run both because some functions are available in ahp and some in x10dispatcher.
Example of the porch : in ahp, I can set the macro running in certain hours, following a specific scheme : from dawn to 00:00 : porch light and from 00:01 to dusk : surveillance lights. Never seen that kind of function or macro in x10dispatcher.

I'll check for days the activity monitor (ahp) and will compare to the activity monitor from x10Dispatcher, to see if there is a real problem with the macros or the way the software manage them.

Actualy dispatcher does have a macro setup!
It just isn't as easy to setup! :(
Since X10dispatcher uses the SDK to get its info from the CM15a I shouldn't display any more then AHP!
Unless you have AHP set to do so!
In the "Activity Monitor" make sure you have all things checked under "View".
If everything isn't checked it will not display all activity info! ;)
