Window Sensor and Activity Monitor

[Geewiz]

Quick question:
I have the DS7000 security console, Active Home Pro software, and the On Alert Plug-in.

When a window or door is open, should the sensor module icon in AHP show open state?  Should the Activity Monitor show something like "Sensor Open?"

In my case, the sensor module icon always shows closed, and the activity monitor only logs the "Sensor Closed" activity.

Thanks!

Geewiz: The icon should show an open state when open and the activity monitor should also log both states.

When you press the test button on one of the DS10A's it should log both an open entry followed by a closed entry in the activity monitor.

I don't own one, but have seen reported that the DS7000 has a better receiving range than the CM15A.  Perhaps the signals from your DS10A are only marginally received by the CM15A, although why only the "Closed" signal gets through I can't say.   Have you tried operating the DS10A within a few feet of the CM15A?

Obviously I'm going to have to play with this, and think it has something to do with the limitations of range of the CM15a. 

Rather a shame X10 crippled this piece of critical hardware.  The range of the DS7000 is far superior, and I believe it's been around longer than the CM15A. 

Thanks for the input!
