The Big Step
« on: March 15, 2005, 10:26:50 AM »

Well guys I took the big step and
disconnected the dia ver CM15 from the
computer. I removed the PAT01/RR501 from the
kitchen stairwell, and the TM751 from the
basement. I put the CM15 in this location as
it is the highest point in the house and the
only point that the eagle eye will transmit
to, thus to turn on the basement lights as
one goes down the stairs. So far after a day
everything is running perfect. I turned on
the livingroom,kitchen,bedroom, & outside
lights at 8:55 this morning to see if the
macro would shut down the house lighting at
9:00 am. Sure enough everything worked again.
I will make a post once a week to keep
everyone informed. I find the RF reception
far better on the dia ver. I had tried the
orginal CM15 in the same location, but the
orginal CM15 would not receive the Eagle Eyes
transmission. I just checked the noise level,
it is averaging 65mv of noise at the zero
crossing in the house, 4 to 4.5 volts of
signal being transmitted from the CM15 at the
kitchen receptacles.
Hope the success continues,and X10 though
their hard work has corrected the original
problems, keep up the hard work X10 we may
solve this yet.

4 to 4.5 volts of signal at the kitchen
receptacles?  You must have a
coupler/repeater.

For Roger H
Yes I am running a X10 Pro XPCR coupler
repeater on the main panel. I tried ATC's,
they work equally as well. I tried this one
and it worked so it stayed on the panel.

Well guys a week has gone by, and all lights,
timers, and macros are performing as they
should. The interface has been disconnected
from the computer, and running by itself.
Hopefully this will continue to work
properly. I will not reconnect the interface
to the computer, until it either fails or a
new version of the AHP comes out. I will make
a report next Sunday on the progress good or bad.

Happy Easter to Everyone, Hope you are
enjoying fine weather, and enjoying the time
at home with the family.
Start of week three disconnected. Everything
is still working normally, both macros, and
timers. I downloaded 3.183 to the interface
this past week everything went fairly
smoothly. Had to pull the batterys, to
download but this is a small inconvience.
Since the interface is disconnected from the
computer, I do know if we have problems with
the active monitor. Lets hope no problems
surface, keep up the good work X10.

Well another week has gone by, and everything
is still running normally. I was a little
concerned that maybe DST was not going to,
switch over, but everything came on at the
proper time. Since this is week four, and
everything is still working tickyboo, I will
only write every second week unless I get a
failure, or there is an update.
