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. 

' wonder if they beta'ed the end stinks Nstinct?   

[nybuck]

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.

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.

[Dan Lawrence]

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.

[J.B.]

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.

[J.B.]

It's not 9.293, It's 3.393.

Actually, it's 3.293. 

[Dan Lawrence]

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.

[Dr.Fiero]

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.   

[Dan Lawrence]

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.

[Dr.Fiero]

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!)
