CM 15 question

[Mic_]

Many folks here seem to like the CM 15; What are the pros to this device? I have used the VA 12 and 11 before that, with AHP. Thanks

The va12 and va11 are video capture devices which are totaly different animals.
The cm15 is not a video capture device it is a  PC interface for controling 10 modules..
It can see and send both plc and RF x10 signalss it also can run independent from a PC once configured

This thread looks like a good place for this question. I had noticed the AHP (in product support) download doesn't work on an old laptop I had/have. Whats the deal here? What is it I need to accompany the download from this link:  https://www.x10.com/productsupport/

The download doesn't work? or the installer once downloaded doesn't work?
What version of Windows is on the laptop?
Do you get errors?

Both the DL and the installer worked. The program failed to open.

What version of Windows is on the laptop?

I tried it on a Visa vista and an old XP laptop. Both failed.

Do you get errors?

I don't know what I was thinking. Normally I would capture an image of any error message for accurate research later... but I didn't I do remember though it was a dll.nets(?) issue.

Spellcheck.... makes most of my posts readable.... screws up so very few.

After posting I realized I should have spelled it Masercard.

The version of AHP on the support page is a very old version 2.10 which isn't compatible with  the newer SDK and full of bugs. There are no specifics listed in the AHP release history for that version so it may have been an internal build and never released untill Authinx found it.
If I remember correctly 3.228 was the version that updated some dlls and the SDK
This is the link for the newest 3.318 AHP

OMG. That's all it took. I (re)downloaded AHP to my old visa masercard.... er... the laptop before 8, as well as the old XP mini laptop I have someone gave me. I now feel comfortably backed-up. Thanks Tuice.... now we need to get X10 to post that link. I do get  a register screen on the old XP setup.... but it allows me to cancel out... so I think I'm OK.

Thanks again.

I'm  not 100% sure lifejacket will work on XP but it should.

As long as I can cancel-out and write/load macros.... what else could I want. X10 isn't allowing/running AHP servers are they?

Worked for me. On Windows XP SP3.

Severs aren't running for MyHouse but the camera plugin , smartMacros and security(onAlert) are still working
Also the unregistered AHP is a bit unstable according to past posts. Although you can run Smartmacros you can't create them with an unregistered AHP

Just tried it on an old XP SP3 machine and it works too. Its fine for local HA control but I wouldn't expose this machine to the Internet.
