Until there is a forum for Rants.

Just use this thread and let it fly !

Duck69:
I'll go first.

What is it with X10 anyway ?

Some of the stuff that they sell is so OLD it's useless.
OUTDATED = USELESS

OH BTW HAVE YOU SEEN THE LATEST GIMMICK ?
You go to a page and this pops up.
If you try to close it...It just takes you to one of their pages.

I'm so tired of this &%#***%$$@#.

Guess I better get off before I say something that I will certainly regret later.

I don't want to sound like Bubba, but I feel your pain.  ;D

People have been bitching about X10's popups long before these forums began.   They used to have have a way to get the popups to stop - for a while. Then you had to do it again and again.

Selling old stuff ain't new for X10. I think they find stuff in they haven't sold in years lying in some wearhouse sommeplace and some suit decides to sell it.

Remember the recent Bandit offer for a "RCA Branded interface" at a low price that turned out to be the CM11A in a different suit?  :(

Once, when I was feeliing sad and depressed, a little bird chirped "cheer up, things could be worse". So, I cheered up, and sure enough, things got worse.

I usually don't like to post negative comments, but seeing as this IS a rant section I feel justified in this "BUG" rant.

I'm Not going to try to find the "RIGHT" spot to post this, cause X-10 won't bother with it anyway.

When Entering macros in AHP, I see the craziest thing all the time.  THE MACROS CHANGE!!!!!  They don't even show the change in the GUI portion of the screen but THEY DO in the text area.  THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!!!!!

For example, If on of the macro commands is F12 OFF, the Picture will show F12 and the "OFF" button is highlighted, but,  if you read the test below, it shows F12 ON !!!!!.  A reload of the AHP SOMETIMES changes it back, sometimes not.  If you change any other macro, and then download, the F12 Macro gets the TEXT version, but the GUI stays with the incorrect version.   ARGGGGGG!!!!

I usually see this with "OFF" going to "ON".  Verly rarely do I see "ON" going to "OFF" but I have seen it.  Once AHP is loaded with a few Macros, it Hapens More and More.  THIS IS NOT THE CM15a, this is ALL in AHP.  I have this running an a server that is connected 24/7 so it's not a connection or power up/down trouble, just a programmers error in updating.  The aggrivation comes in with, "NO WORKING MACRO CAN BE TRUSTED" unless you check the TEXT of every macro, every time you are going to download.  Even then, while checking, I have seen a COUPLE change while I was moving around in the various macros.

I'll admit, I'm pushing things a little, but I've only got 40% of the CM15A memory used and around 150 PC based macros so It SHOULD be able to handle that. 

Just had to get that off my chest.  That is actually the ONLY problem I have had that I cannot work around in one way or another.  Phase, noise, physical problems, whatever, can be dealt with.  Altering my proven code by itself is UNACCEPTABLE no matter what.  X-10 needs to get their priorities worked out a little more!!!

Well I have a small RANT but its a RANT all the same. I got this string of Christmas Lights to put on my posts (See Above) After installing it I found out that the red light on the right end won't flash. Wheres the quality anymore? I hooked up this string of lights to an Appliance module, not just any one but a AM14A 2-Way. Well that doesn't work either. When I click POLL in AHP it won't update. From time to time you will see that the lights quit blinking, thats just me, I have them on a timer in my AHP.
