I just switched from another program to AHP and I have a Wall dimmer that will not turn on with timer but turns off with same timer.  I can turn it on from AHP.  The version I have is 3.236

What was the "other program"?

SmartHome

Smarthome what controller?
My guess is the 1132CU with Smarthome Essentials or the Essentials Plus. As HCA and a few others have been fixed for Vista and Windows 7.

Someone has modified the installer and some reported Vista and Windows 7 success.

That said Smarthome has flagged it as Legacy and didn't even fix the date changes for DST. I did the custom Location Table and twice a year picked the DST or Standard table we fudged.

Mine is still in use for easy sending and monitoring X10 signals when I am testing stuff. Not for actual automation chores.

It is the 1132CU.  I think I finally got AHP working by changing the module and adding the macro.  Thanks for all the help.

Glad it is now working for you.

Hi cajunrc,

Glad things are making sense again. 

From the above, I'm assuming that you've changed to the LM14a interface within AHP. 

One final note: If you are using a repeater in your system, there is a chance that it will not understand the "extended code" protocol used by the LM14a interface.  I believe this is true of the Smarthome Signalinc line of repeaters.

I did change it to the LM14a in AHP.  Not sure what you mean by repeater, but I am using a rf relay to turn lights on and off with my Harmony remote

For larger installations, an "active repeater" is sometimes required at the breaker panel.  These devices couple the electrical phases and amplify or "repeat" the X10 transmission.  The Smarthome line of "repeaters" (Named Signalinc) use an older form of the X10 protocol and will not understand the LM14a information.

The rf relay that you are using is responding to traditional On/Off/Bright/Dim commands from your Harmony.  No worries here.

Happy Automating,
