X10 Activehome Pro CM15A Experiance left me feeling sour.

[HA Dave]

.....  You might want to consider getting a CM15A off eBay (around $40)...

It sorta sounds like that's what he did. By the way... X10 had a $29.99 CM15A... with the [limited] AHP software.

I think... the OP was trying to limit his risk... or at least developed an aversion to risk without understanding the utility of AHP (or maybe even X10 for that matter).

I should point out this is mere speculation on my part.... based solely on the written words of the OP. When he wrote that I "should get a life" and called AHP "crapware"... I took that as striking out. Striking [or striking out] is a fear-based reaction... meaning he is afraid he might not get what he wants. It's a shame.

If we don't ether set aside (or at least suck-up) our fears... and logically manage our risks... we are stuck exactly where we are at.
