Thanks for clarifying.
It would still be nice to be able to choose the installation folder, though.

I have been using X10 Commander for a few weeks now.
it seems to do what it is meant to do.

Howvere I have a couple of things which I think could be looked at:

1) the list of devices which appears in the roller menu on the iphone is always in alphabetable order rather than the order which I put them in on the server.
2) I also believe that the roller selector in x10 Commander is not the best way to select the devices. - I would like to have an option to have a folder type arrangement where devices 1-6 is in the 1st window, 7-12 in a 2nd window etc

Aussie Mate,

I definitely understand your UI requests. 

However most people seem to prefer the current UI and the "quick acting" roller.  From anywhere in the I can hit the X10 Commander button on my iphone, immediately find my device or macro, turn it on or off and then logout. 

From canvasing users over the last 2 years most of them are never in the app more than 30 seconds, and prefer not to navigate a maze of folders, tabs, etc.

As for alphabetical ordering there is an easy solution to force the order you want.  What most users do it label there devices...

01 Kitchen Lights
02 Bedroom
03 Outdoor Lights
04 Garage

etc.  Since the 00 numbering then forces them in the order you give them with the nubmer in the name.

Hope that helps!

My HA PC running x10 Commander rebooted after some updates and all my devices are gone.
Can't seem to find a way to get tem back or save. Am I missing something obvious?

I store everything in the registry here:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Melloware\X10Commander

Is it possible you are running under another user account and thus the HKEY_CURRENT_USER will be different per user logged into your machine.

Hi Melloware

I like your app but have you been asked or thought about changing the layout so it just has multiple pages with buttons you can label and then just assign commands to those buttons.  This would add a level of complexity (and setup) for everyone who purchases the app.  I guess it could be the x10 advanced app or something and you could charge like 15-20 bucks for it. I would pay. Currently I am using a device called cueserver and there app (http://interactive-online.com/products/apps/cuepad) to control my x10 stuff.  You can check out the layout I am talking about there.  I have purchased your app and I am waiting for a few more pieces I ordered to arrive to try it out.  The problem with cueserver is in order to control the x10 stuff I am using contact closures from cueserver to buttons on one of the x10 wireless controllers but cueserver is limited to 8 outputs.  I was able to expand it to 12 but that is only 6 modules (on and off).  So this really limits the number of devices you can control not to mention all the tracing and soldering on the PC board I had to do.

I am using X10 ActivePhone with iPhone and it works well. Except that some how it displays some rooms more than once and devices in the duplicates don't work and in some rooms it does not list all devices and Macros. Before I download X10 commander, I would like to know:
1. Did anyone else face the same problems and how were it resolved?
2. Is X10 Commander better than ActivePhone?

Thank you for your help.

Another advantage is that the server half is free, and you can write your own web interface to use on the phone end, or in any browser.
Another advantage is that AHP doesn't need to be running, just the X10nets service.

Thank you all. I'll try out X10 commander.

Have a nice day.
