Why all of the sudden can't I switch between my cameras? It was working this morning, now I just get one camera and it won't switch between them... I'm doing this in AHP with "Mouse Clicks" also tried my HR12A Remote with no luck..

Is it just the cams, or other x10 devices as well?
Remote control is cool,
but automation rules!

So far from what I can tell it's just the cams.... Everything else ( not like I have a whole lot) seems to be going like it should.

Since two controllers [HR12A with Tranceiver and the CM15A with AHP] don't control them. I would thing power line noise as the addressable camera power supplies are controlled by power line signals.

Worn out question but has anything changed in the home electrically or electronically?

B:( It seems like one camera is over ridding all the others......... Regardless on which camera I pick....

??? I did move a couple fans around in the Chin Room yesterday, do you think maybe that could be the issue?

:)% Problem SOLVED !!!!

It seems when I moved a few fans around yesterday one of them was causing "noise" in the line.

::) I see some Noise Filters getting ordered!

Glad you found the offender.
As you may know. Cameras use groups of four Unit Codes. So an On to one in the group should turn the other three off. If one misses the On to another camera it also stays on so now you have two stepping on each other. One other thing is the cameras at power on. Default to On. So after maybe a power loss. All may go on until one is commanded to go on and the others should go off.
