Reliability is really a relative issue and
the question becomes, how reliable do you
want it to be? Are you insisting that it
work 99.99997% of the time in such a way
that modules never miss or misinterpret
commands? If so, X10 (or any other
retrofit system) will not good enough for
you (only a hard wired system could claim
that kind of reliability).
The vast majority of us don’t need (or want
to pay for) that kind of reliability. Some
on this forum will say to get a certain
competitor’s product because it is more
reliable. This may be true, I don’t know,
but to get most of the features that AHP
promises, you will have to pay more.
With regards to the negative comments, many
of them come from users who haven’t used
AHP for several months. In my setup, I
haven’t had any serious problems (there
have been some minor ones) in the past
couple months. I did have some serious
problems before that though. Will it work
reliably for the next few months? I can’t
say, but things look promising.
