I so confused
« on: April 27, 2009, 08:43:58 PM »
OK so I have read about people having similar issues but since none match I will post anywho
Using AHP, I have transceiverswith codes A and B  around the house, the lamp modules work fine on a schedule, but seems like none of my light switch modules will work, on a schedule.  B:( They will work with eagle eyes, and with a remote, some I can turn on from the computer, some I can't. Is there a limit on the number of light bulbs they can control on a schedule? (IE I have a hanging lamp control ed by a light switch that has 6 lightbulbs in it. )Since a sensor or a remote will turn them on, you would think it wouldn't matter. I have checked the repeat option in the schedule setup, so the command gets resent..I have 3 socket rockets on the same code that work fine on the same schedule, yet their light switch neighbor will not do a thing. The other question I have, is why do all my lights come on (the ones on schedules) after the electricity has been cut and then turned back on...and the funny thing is the light switches that don't work on a schedule, will come on after electricity has been restored
Thanks for any suggestions

If your light switches are less than 18 months old try defining your light switches as LM14A in AHP.

You need to give more information, the version of AHP, the O/S on the PC and if the CM15A is attached to the PC or separate from it.  Also are the any phase problems in your house?

Most recent version of AHP ( purchased one month ago), OS is Windows XP , CM15A is attached to computer.No phase problems that I am aware of.

I presume your AHP version is either 3.228 or 3.236. Be aware 3.236 is a buggy release it may or may not work properly.  If 3.236 is giving you problems, you may want to backdate to 3.228.  Go to http://software.x10.com/pub/applications/activehome/  and get 3.204 from there. Install it over 3.236. Once it is installed, you can update to 3.228 through the update link in AHP. 

If you have 3.228 you are good to go.

One more thing, can someone tell me what "Extended Code 3 3b" means? It shows up on the light switch modules, that are not responding to the schedule.
Is it because I checked the repeat option?
