So why wasn't this update put on the automatic update queue?  I am running 3.228 and a forced update says that I have the latest software.

good question!
I suspect another programing oversight or another bug with 3.228
Only X10 knows for sure!

No, it is not fixed in AHP version 3.236. I have this version of AHP and since yesterday, the timers are triggering off an hour early. Yesterday, I thought that I accidentally switched off all the lights but today I was not even close to any x10 remote and the lights turned off at 8:30 pm instead of 9:30 pm. This is clearly a bug which needs to be fixed.

This is pretty ridiculous.  This has been going on for a loooong time now, through several software releases.  How hard can it be to fix?  It's not rocket science.

Can somebody associated with the company reply with a real ETA for the fix for this?

EVERYBODY!!!!  Check your hardware configuration and make sure your location is correct.  Of all the users of AHP here, you are the only ones experiencing this problem.  X10 will not tell you the contents of the CM15s's firmware either.

Check your hardware configuration and make sure your location is correct.

Dan ... My location in hardware configuration is correct.  But what kind of location setting would result in it going to Daylight Savings Time on a Sunday in the middle of December? 

I agree that it is puzzling that we seem to be the only ones experiencing this problem.  I admit that my PC is not always connected to the CM15A, as the location of my CM15A makes that impractical.  (That location [near my breaker panel] is necessary in order to make it reliably communicate to all of my receivers.)  But it's supposed to work OK independent of the PC.  If anybody discovers why some of us have this problem but others don't, I'd lover to hear the solution.

[Dan Lawrence]

It has to be a CM15 firmware problem.

It's the FEDS who determine DST start and stop dates, Arizona and Nevada (I believe) opted out of DST long before Congress last fooled with them.  I would suggest as a last resort to get a cheap PC and put it where you have the CM15 and keep it connected 24/&/365.

You may be able to keep the CM15 connected where the PC currently is and use couplers or other X10 modules to get around signal problems, there's quite a bit of info here about full house X10 communication.

This is why I dumped the CM15 and moved on to new and better things.

I'm sure others would love to hear what you moved onto that you consider Better!

I still use x10 with no problems. I switched to a Ocelot plugged into Jeff's XTB-IIR. W800RF for X10 RF signals and a Homeseer Hometroller. I just found that I was leaving the PC on most of the time and that Homeseer allows me to tie together multiple automation technologies; z-wave, x10, IR, Ademco vista 20 alarm system, etc. etc.

But I will say AHP and the CM15 is what got me started and hooked on home automation.
