New to x-10. So far very impressed. I have the active home pro cm 150 computer interface, as well as a usb wireless transceiver - CM19A
The cheapest things I have - so far work the best and easiest. Keychain remotes work from down the street, Powerhouse transceiver lamp module works great and controlls the two table lamps (one from the module, and one from the remote module that came with it) I have installed the AHP software, loaded the plug ins that came with it. And can't turn even one light on or off -NOTHING HAPPENS.
So I started surfing this forum and found a list of common issues that directed me to the Tools / Hardware Configuration / Transceiver Codes
The hardware is set to monitor house code A and the Transceiver Codes is set to automatic.
However - When this info is displayed, there is a message that reads "
ACTIVE HOME PROFESSIONAL HAS STOPPED WORKING - A Problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
button for close program, or x to close the window
I have to click the button, or x the window - both do the same thing, the program closes, no message comes up with suggestion and I have to restart the AHP application and I still cannot control anything from my computer interface.
Note: If I unplug the interface, when I start the AHP software I get a message that the Interface is not detected and to verify the usb cable is plugged in and the unit is plugged into a working outlet - so the computer is at least detecting the unit - even if I can't use it yet.
If anyone has experienced this and has a suggestion I would be most appreciative of any suggestions you have! I will watch this post but also would ask you consider copying reply to my email at jrmsign@aol.com
Does this work with Vista??? I bought this a while ago on ebay and don't even recall if I have a cd or downloaded the software - I may have to buy another transceiver to get the software again if I need to load on an XP machine.
Thank you!
