It's been a while, but a new version of
ActiveHome Pro is available. We jumped from
version 3.187 to 3.198 due to development on
the MyHouse Online Internet Plug-in. Changes
in this version are:

- Fixed a problem that caused some imported
original ActiveHome files to have all times
converted to AM

- Fixed a problem with Merge and timers for
macros, potentially crashing AHP

- Fixed Hardware config displaying in
24-hour time, even if unchecked in Preferences

- Corrected "Address Only" advanced command
so that it is PC-only, and now works as it should

- Added preference to send ON instead of
Bright 100% command for lamp modules in
Macros (Macro Options Tab)

- Added a "Troubleshooting" entry to the
Help menu with links to help resources on the
X10 web site

- iWitness: Revised messaging & help when
ActiveHome Pro cannot get video source.

- iWitness: Added 4x4 camera grid view for
users with more than 9 cameras.

- MyHouse Online: Added alternate e-mail
method for cases when primary method is rejected.

- MyHouse Online: Revised Status window
messaging to remove NtaSysConnClosed message
and add meaningful information.

- MyHouse Online: Added caution message for
remote users.

- MyHouse Online: Fixed a problem that could
prevent Start & Stop of camera scanning from
working

1.- When I exit the Active Pro program
(v.3.198) I cannot run again the program
unless I reboot my pc.

2.- When I make click on "Check for Update"
with v3.198 nothing happen (on prior
versions a window notified if the current
version was up-to-date).

[bob linca]

Peter MC, I checked for both of these
problems on my PC, and they work OK for me.

FYI: I am running it on Windows XP Pro.

Peter MC: What version of Windows is this?

[peter mc]

I´m working with Windows XP Pro

I updated AHP from 3.187 to 3.198 yesterday,
and the first problem that
I noticed was that I would get multiple
entries in “Activity Monitor”
Which I use very often.
Ie;

Event Date/Time    Action    Data
0 12/10/2005 1:42:23 am Receive B5 (Left Side
MS16A)
1 12/10/2005 1:42:24 am Receive B On (Left
Side MS16A)
2 12/10/2005 1:43:19 am Receive B5 (Left Side
MS16A)
.
.(This would be transactions from 1:42:23 am
- 6:28:09 am and then repeat
repeat multiple times) more than 20, I
stopped counting after 20.
.

134 12/10/2005 6:28:09 am Receive B5 (Left
Side MS16A)
135 12/10/2005 6:28:10 am Receive B On (Left
Side MS16A)
136 12/10/2005 6:29:04 am Receive B5 (Left
Side MS16A)
137 12/10/2005 6:29:04 am Receive B Off (Left
Side MS16A)
138 12/10/2005 1:42:23 am Receive B5 (Left
Side MS16A)
139 12/10/2005 1:42:24 am Receive B On (Left
Side MS16A)
140 12/10/2005 1:43:19 am Receive B5 (Left
Side MS16A)
141 12/10/2005 1:43:19 am Receive B Off (Left
Side MS16A)

I ended up going back to 3.187, and the
multiple log entries were no longer.
Not sure why the log entries are duplicating
multiple times.

[Chris S.]

Forgot to mention with the 12/10/05 Activity
log with multiple entries, there were a total
of 5013 Events total durring this 5 hour period.

[bob linca]

Chris S, what is supposed to happen when B5
On is received?

[Chris S.]

B5 On sends a signal to a socket rocket and
turns a lamp on.

[bob linca]

If 'B5 On' triggers a macro, and the Socket
Rocket is also set to B5, then the signal
sent to the Socket Rocket might re-trigger
the B5 micro.

If you don't have a macro, then the 'B5 Off'
will be turning the light off. However, if
the MS16A can see the light that it is
controlling, it might be interpreting the
light going off as movement, and so switches
it on again.

[Chris S.]

Bob,
Thanks for your input.
No Macros, everything ws fine in 3.187 version.
After the upgrade to 3.198, multiple
duplicate entries occured for the same
event.

Went back to 3.187 version, no problems .

[Dave L]

Newest release installed to make ready for
myHouse plug-in. I lost most of my control
over most of my lights. Now some simply
won't work at all and others will only turn
on. Only one light set still works. WTF?

[Dan Lawrence]

I upgraded to 3.198 with no problems
whatsoever. All timers/macros work as
programmed. Find Other Computers help on
longer crashes X10 Pro.

I suspect anyone having problems with 3.198,
it's specific hardware in their systems.

Before upgrading to AHP, AH 1.42 would not
work on my system. So any faults in AHP have
to be machine specific.

[joe s]

Since installing AHP v3.198 have had quite
a few lock ups on the program. Mainly when
trying to clear interface or download to it.
Using XP Media edition. Other than the lock
ups, the update seems to work pretty good !

[dale]

I too am using XP Pro and after updating I
can no longer view my cams, it won't send
me email and won't connect to the server
when a macro tells it to.  How can I roll
it back?
