Howdy, all.
New to the board, but I've been using an older generation (serial-based) X10 controller for many years and have just upgraded to the CM15A for its broader capabilities.
I have many modules (2 pin and 3 pin appliance modules) that I use to run a fish tank. For some reason, the new controller is not turning any of them on and off. No matter what alpha or numeric address I use on the modules, the controller will not trigger any of them. Even when they're plugged into the same socket! Wrinke: I'm in a new home, but I don't know what that would make a difference with regard to being in the same outlet.
The USB cable I'm using is 10' long, so proximity to the PC isn't an issue.
I've cleared the history, and there are no yellows or reds
I've experimented with other modules, just in case
Question... do the batteries have to be in the controller or can it function without them?
Any help would be appreciated.
