Time for the monthly update

Yes it is!
As most know China basically shuts down in February for new years celebrations.
I do know there was a scheduled meeting with the manufacture and a X10 team set for yesterday.
However I have not heard anything else as yet.
I suspect it won't be till next week before we hear anything, cross your fingers that the X10 team brings back a plane load of these units.

Ok here's the latest on the Authinx unit.
Some hardware modifications needed to be done to comply with the new chip.
This apparently has been done and a unit has been (or will be shortly) sent to the software developer so the new code can be added to work with the new chip.
It is now looking like 2nd week of April before we'll hear anything on a release.
I'm unsure if I'll see this beast before a release but if I do I'll be sure to post about it.
I was beginning to think this was dead but I'm assured it is still in the pipeline.

I know Authinx is a small company but they need to do a better job of marketing. Simple stuff like a Facebook page or Twitter account don't cost anything and are a good way to announce new products.

The wifi unit isn't yet a new product.
Since X10WTI gave X10 such a bad rep and Facebook and Twitter basically killed it, I'm not surprised they don't use either.

Posts made on the forum are not meant to act as any form of marketing unlike what X10WTI did prior.
The thread I created for getting a discounted Module was something I though loyal users and forum members deserved, it was not thought of as a marketing scheme. Thought the owner may have looked at it like that when I suggested a discount for us.

It must be getting close to release as the CM15A is currently unavailable. The big question is how will the new unit play with older modules and switches?

[Tuicemen]

I suspect it will play as well as the initial proto type did with it's last software update as the same Software developer is apparently  reviving the code to work with the redesigned chip.
The wi-fi unit is not meant to be a replacement for the CM15.
Authinx has stated modules will be updated when current stock runs out so it will be interesting to see what happens with the Cm15

Time for the monthly update

We have got to be close to having these. I gave up on AHP and have been MANUALLY switching lights since December. 
Tell x10 to let me preorder. Take my money!!!!! Just hot ship me one. Don't even let it cool off from the slow boat from China.

I actually emailed the owner this morning requesting a update.
If I don't receive a response by tomorrow evening I'll fire off another request.
The last update I got stated it would be at least second week in April before we would possibly hear anything on a release.
A prototype was to have been sent to X10 for a final go ahead with the new software.
I have not heard if they even received this yet.
The good news (if there is any Knightrider) is the owner plans to fly an initial shipment in so some of us won't need to wait for the slow boat.

That sounds like an amazing concept. Could you post a link to the instructions?
How reliable is this method and what hoops need to be jumped when troubleshooting?

Oh my God Brian... you must be both exhausted... as well as frustrated. Is there anything we can do to help?

Macros must be a real joy! I'm sure help can be used there!

How much weight have you lost Brian?
There may be a market for the X10 EP  (exercise program)

Knight, your buckeye brothern is right. I should be trying to help with encouragement and understanding. I apologize for calling you names and saying you have strayed....

I guess that the experience has been so exhausting, that I haven't been able to get on this forum very much!  It's actually the lamp next to the couch that gets me. Instead of using my smartphone or tablet or even my voice, (now get this) I have to EXTEND my arm aprox. 15 degrees IN THE AIR AT AN ELEVATION! and reach over about a foot to turn on the table lamp!!! I don't know how I will ever survive.
