Well the Radio Shack users in 2005 where having the same problems with the 49-1000.
I doubt they will change anything in the console.
I do think they did change things in the Powerhorns and maybe timing critical. If I tried another one it may actually work correctly.
I thought maybe I was missing something. As I was bench testing it and didn't have a phone number or message in it. Didn't seem to change anything when I added them. Though it was still not on a phone line.
With the Smarthome Essentials software I can send manually the All Lights On and All Units Off. I don't think you can have it send the sequences automatically. I am not sure if the Pro version was different. Essentials was free with the 1132CU. Pro added $69.99
The signal test tool can send the On and Off cycle to an address at one to ten seconds. That is where I tested the timing with an On Off Cycle.
It is also quite dated and does not work with newer Windows Systems or ever have the Daylight Saving Times corrected. Called it Legacy Software. No patches from Smarthome.
