Dave W - I really want to argue with your X10-bashing, thoroughly critical rant!

Yeah, sorry. That's what happens when I don't take my Zoloft, Zanax, lithium, and Thorizine for three days in a row.    :'

Adding features can be especially difficult because of the possibility of breaking something that has been working fine all along.

That's precisely why I want to wait a few months - until the second batch of remotes...

You never buy a car the first year in production, and never buy an X10 "new" device...   ;)

For those of us who don't or need any of the plug-ins for AHP, how about a version of AHP that does not allow any of the plug-ins.  Should be easy to produce.  You only register AHP, no plug-ins appear on the opening screen.
I don't SELL this stuff... BUT I sure do ENJOY using it!!!

The plug-ins list showing with only AHP installed shouldn't cause any plug-in related issues.
You also shouldn't be nagged to register any plug-ins if none are installed.

It doesn't affect anything, but the intro screen is now cluttered with 7 greyed out plug-ins, so it's kind of a "plug" for the plug-ins.  If X10 keeps adding more plug-ins to the 7 they have now, the into screen is going to get bigger.

I agree it would make more sense to have the splash screen only show any plug-ins that are currently installed.
There is pop-up until disabled and a menu that shows featured plug-ins if anyone has the need to check these.

Although I have been with X10 for over 10 years myself and at times have been vary unhappy to the point I have put my stuff in the closet. I see after 5 years of no upgrades or new products some  new stuff coming out. The newest 3.293 seems pretty good.
More importantly I have actually seen Programmers taking part on the bulletin board alot and listening to the users. This is a big step and my hat is off to them for a change since I am always vary quit to scream as well when something does not work.
Not only have I had them respond to my posts but they have called me with out me having to beg them to call me. I actually had one call me on Saturday and wanted to make sure my problem was resolved.
Great to see X10 following through with stuff for a change. Wounder if we have new management or they just have a new Contract with someone.
Thanks again

PS one could always wish it was 9.293

Dan Lawrence

It's not 9.293, It's 3.393.  All releases of AHP begin with 3.  Apparently versions 1 and 2 were never released.

Actually, it's 3.293.  >!

Thank you, I do get an attack of fumble finger every one in a while. I do know it's 3.293.  I'm currently using it minus any plug-ins.

I installed 3.293 yesterday (in an empty directory), then all the plugins.

Fired it up, and....  the plugins were all showing 'registered'...  but AHP itself wasn't!   :-\

Stuffed in the reg' code for it, but no dice - said 'not recognized' or something to the effect.
Guess I'll have to call X10 Monday with a few drinks and snacks for the 2hrs I'll no doubt spend on hold.    :'

I keep my AHP Registration Code in a .txt file in my X10 Backup Disk, so I always have it available.

If you installed ActivePhone, it doesn't show up as an independent plugin - it just shows up as ActiveHome Pro, and requires the ActivePhone registration code in that spot.

I keep all my reg codes etc in a folder in Gmail so I always have access to them - so that's not the problem.

"Did not find registration code" was the exact wording of the error response.

Funny thing is - it was fine earlier that day!  I installed the new 3.293, and that's when the failure started.
(as I said though - it recognizes all the plug in reg codes!)
