FWIW, I have been a happy user of the
product with no issues what so ever over
the last year. I have done every update
provided with no problems. This update
crashes AH as soon as I click on the
upgrade button.

[phil]

So far - so good . Install went OK for me as
has most of the previous updates.
PD

Upgrade went well.  I was looking forward
to the advanced functions and although it
is a great improvement, I am a little
disappointed.  Here are some of my
reactions:

- Added ability to send arbitrary
extended code commands from a macro

They seem to have done a nice job with
this.  An option to display the bytes in
binary could have been useful, but I am not
complaining.


- Added ability to send arbitrary address
commands from a macro

Long overdue!  Excellent!


- Added ability to send arbitrary
standard commands from a macro

I am quite disappointed with this one.  I
was expecting the ability to send any
arbitrary function (on, off, bright, dim,
status request, presetdim1, presetdim2,
etc.) but instead got a standard lamp
module control that can be assigned any
arbitrary address.  You can’t even force it
to send an “ON” command (it will do a
bright 100% instead) so it won’t work with
appliance modules.  I guess it could be
useful, but I was expecting much more.


One bug I found is if you click on the icon
to add a comment to a macro, AHP will
crash.  This may have been there before,
but I only just noticed it.

crashes everytime I try to upgrade...

[phil]

I just checked to see if there is any
problem adding comments in the  yellow note
icons within Macros on my machine and found
it's still working for me after this new
update . Tried it on three different Macros
and no crash .
PD

[arf1410]

upgraded "manually" from the link below
provided by X10, and upgraded fine...

[WinS]

Good update.  No problems on install.  Found
no obvious problems on initial testing.
Update did seem to fix the loss of video
stream - it's been steady since update.
Command macro was a great idea.

[mark]

Update installed fine.  Seems to work so
far with my limited testing.

I did find a way to crash it reliably.

From the Plug-ins menu select
iWitness/About.  Then press the Help
button.  It crashes everytime on my system
which is running XP-Home.  This is really
not a big deal but you will probably want
to fix it.

[Noam]

I also had a crash on the update, but I
updated from the link, and it worked.

[phil]

Mark . . I tried your menu/select iWitness
about/help routine and it crashed AhP for me
too . First crash for me in some time .
PD
XP SP2

[X10 Pro]

Mark: Good catch. that's probably been there
for a while.

Roger H: The ability to send ONs (as a
Preference) instead of Bright 100s was
supposed to be in this release, but will be
in the next one. What version of Windows do
you have where you get the crash adding a
comment?

[arf1410]

Ability to send address only commands was a
great addition, used to program Switchlincs
with commands such as
M16
N16
O16
P16
N16, etc

However AHP activity monitor shows

M16
M16 0% Bright

/1/ Is this really an address only command?
I haven't actually had time to try out this
to program Switchlincs yet...

/2/  When I try this with NO time delay,
only first "M16" executes, at least
according to Activity Monitor.  When I add a
1 second delay between each command, they
all execute, but with a 5 second delay.  Not
sure yet how close together (timewize)
commands must be executed for Switchlincs to
execute them...

[bob white]

Went well. Eliminated requirement to
reregister every time I started the progtam
due to a conflict with ATI Catalyst.

[steven r]
