I updated the Google login stuff as suggested and it worked great...  Now I just need to find a CM15A or CM17A device...  Thanks

[soxfan1966]

Which of the CM Interfaces do people use / recommend?  I think the real options are the CM11A (which is a serial connection, and not sure if it works with Text2x10 or not), CM15A (USB connection, also some memory in the device to triggering timed events) or CM19A (USB, no memory, just RF commands sent and no status reply).

The CM15A has been discontinued by X10.  There was a report that someone got one in the last couple weeks, but I'd consider that one out of the question for the moment.

[Dan Lawrence]

That may not be true as it was reported here that one of the posters got a CM15A in the last week or so.

Does anyone know if this works with one of the Serial connectors (CM17 or CM11)?  Or does it only work with the USB Ones?

Nice reading but I need ur help I am very much interested in X10 Technologies(modules).Currently am
working on a project topic "Mobile Home Based Automation System using SMS".

My worry now is that,I have purchased X10 modules ( Lamp and Appliance)
from the US,and want help if a programming code in either
of the  to programming languages C++,C#,VB.Net,C or any programming
langauge remotely control the X10 Modules using SMS from a phone.
Because I don't want to use the software that comes with the kit for my project work.

Large quantitties of both the lamp & appliance modules would be imported into my country
for household owners,if this project become successful,much of your products would be
recommended in my country for household owners.

This is a users forum. X10 staff occasionally monitors it, but if you want their attention you should call them.

I think the only limitation you will find is that the interface must be compatible with the AHP SDK.  In that regard, the only compatible controllers are CM15A and CM19A afaik.

http://www.activehomepro.com/faq.html#Q.%20Will%20ActiveHome%20Pro%20work%20with%20the%20older%20CM11A%20Computer%20Interface%20that%20shipped%20with%20the%20original%20version%20of%20ActiveHome

After looking in another thread:
http://forums.x10.com/index.php?topic=25476
page 3, message from thex10shop, it appears that AHP may be compatible with CM11A.  Never used it that way since I don't have one, but it's probably possible.

Anyway, if you can use AHP with your controller, then you will have access the the AHP SDK and this software will work.

The CM11A is compatible with the later revisions of AHP.
I have not tried the AHP SDK with one.

There are a few overseas X10 vendors that make X10 compatible modules for Europe and other countries.

Got version 0.0.3 installed and got to the point that the program is "listening", but I can't get the program to complete a command, and there is nothing indicated on the activity log.  Tried cmd in both x10cmd and ahcmd....

[bkenobi]

Make sure the SDK is up and running correctly.  There are a couple test scripts that you can use to verify that the SDK is working correctly within AHP so you can eliminate that as a possible issue.  If that's good, the next question is whether the commands are being received by text2x10 and whether they are considered valid by the program.  When a text comes in, text2x10 should display a message in the command prompt indicating what it interpreted the message to mean.

[JMac]

What SDK do I need?  I have Windows XP SP3 and I run a few scripts on AHP, but I was under the impression that AHP was not involved.  I do have it running continuously though and the CM15A is attached to the computer.  Somehow text2x10 is not seeing the message....

[Brian H]

Do you have the AHP SDK?
If not here is the link to it.

Take a look at this post:

I had a similar problem, and I had to modify the code to adjust for changes on google's side.
I haven't looked at this in in a while, so I don't know if those changes were incorporated into the Text2x10 code or not.

[bkenobi]

I just tried to use text2x10 this evening and it appears to be broken again.  I know it worked a month ago or so, but it doesn't do anything now.  It appears that Google must have changed how messages get downloaded again.  The system sits there and attempts to download the message, but it doesn't get anything back (as far as I can see).  I am no PHP programmer, so it will take me a bit to figure out what the issue is.  Perhaps the previous poster who was having issues was related to this.  I'll post the solution if I can figure it out (presuming I don't have something else screwed up on my end).
