After several months of flawless operation
with my diagnostic CM15A, it finally crapped
out this weekend with macros that use the
nighttime conditional. Unfortunately X10 did
not send me any instructions on how to help
them find the bug so I just reset it. Things
seem to be working normally now. So much for
the diagnostic features.

Joe you have to have the diagnostic software
inorder to send the info from the diagnostic
unit to x10! I don't know why this wasn't
specified when you got your unit but I like
you and others were never told this. E-mail
X10Pro and ask for the software.

tuicemen,

Ya know, I am not going to do that. I posted
this message a week ago and the X10pro didnt
even reply. So I guess I am willing to live
with what I got. I have gone from having to
reset it once a week to resetting it every 2
months. I consider myself one of the luckier
victims of X10. If X10 needs any info, they
can contact me! Imagine sending out all these
diagnostic units and not supplying the
software that makes the diagnostics work.

seems mine is broken now as well!I just got
back from a weeks holiday so I'm just
catching up. My wife says all timers and
macros worked while I was gone(had my
computer off cm15a diagnostic unit still
conected to the PC). I should have left it a
lone but I started up AHP v3.186 thought I'd
play with iWitness, I didn't even get that
far someone tripped a motion sensor and I
got the error:  An error has occurred while
communicating with you ActiveHome USB
interface. To make sure your timers and
macros contineto run,click OK to download
your settings to the interface.
Clicking OK does download to the interface &
also turns off all units but the next RF the
unit receives I get the same error.my
original unit works fine with the software
so it is the diagnostic unit not the
software. I can't even clear the interface
to start over,nor will the Diagnostic
software work to send info to X10.

Isn't that special. It looks like we traded
the "immediate" bugs for some delayed ones.
Oh well, given the lack of daily fixes, I
guess that X10 has moved on to bigger and
better things like the iwitness. Boy that
must be a real can of worms.

Well it's fixed! And perhaps this is why
when X10 gets a return it works on their end.
I simply pluged the diagnostic unit into
another PC running AHP and presto no more
errors and I could clear the interface.
Put it back on the other PC and it works
like it did before the error messages
started. Seems to me my original unit locked
up like this also but on a different PC so
It isn't the PC.( I originaly thought that
was a problem caused by me closeing AHP
before download was finished or something
like that)Hey whats one more bug to work
arround?

[joe]

tuicemen,

I got to admit you are a trooper. When I
first got this thing, I was fooling around
with it daily but now the novelty has worn
off. I have mine working with simple
programming and that is good enough for me.
My lights go on when they are supposed to
most of the time and it only crashes every
two months or so. So much for AHP.... I have
other stuff I need to fool around with.
