AHCMD

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\X10\Common\ahcmd.exe sendplc a1 on

Any way to run this from the Internet?

Thanks

There are several third party programs that make this possible.
If you are handy with programing then you'll have no issues.
However the AHCMD is known to lock up with too many consecutive calls.
Look at ihouse as it is a free open source program that can send commands from the internet.

Thanks
I'll check out ihouse.
I do like to program.
I just put a great Android app on the market. Now waiting for it to show up.
It's a X10 Voice Commander.

TJ travels alot making it unable for him to keep on top of things as fast as he'd like.
I suspect it is just a server issue that he hasn't been able to address but time will tell.

I did a search for ihouse, and got 35 hits, none of which refer to X10 or anything like that.

brian, that is old stuff;  the issue here is that within the last week

http://www.ihousehomeautomation.com

has gone off the web.  whois search shows it expired 7/2012 so that isnt accurate info....

I was trying to give Dan a heads up in it being a program X10 can be used with.
I know the links where giving error messages.

ok, sorry brian.  thanks for clarifying my comment.  if the slaves for the master did not crash often I would have switched to ihouse long ago.  it still does not support security modules either.
