RE: xPL Manager Delays

["Neil Wrightson" <neilw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tom,

The window is present just un-responsive I.e. if I select the yellow x10
folder it may take 4..5 seconds before my single device is displayed on the
right hand side.
If I toggle the light ON/OFF a few times, on some of the toggles it may
take
3..4 seconds before the light changes state as opposed to approx 1 second.

I've been using X10 for some time now but via MH and I know the usual
response speed and it is approx 1 second.

I'm using the JohnB vendor CM12 device?

Are there other X10 services?

Regards,

Neil Wrightson.

Hi Neil,

Welcome to the list! :-)

When you say "the manager seems to disappear for seconds at a
time"
what do you mean by that ?  The window disappears ??
If you find that your lamp is not responding fast enough then that may
be related to X10 itself.  It is a rather slow protocol.

Which X10 service did you install (more out of curiousity ;-)

Regards,
Tom
