Re: x10 arrrrrrrrrrrrggggg



Hello.  Thank you for taking your time to help me.  It's fixed !!!!
(dancing on the ceiling.)  I do have two motion detectors however they
are currently not set to trigger as they don't work.  (a future
question)  I took your advice Bobby G and changed the code on the light
switch to 15 and now it works fine.  I should tell you that the switch
 worked as a "Stand alone"  The problem only presented itself when
using the fine software known as Activehome professional.  I am
guessing that it for some silly reason is sending the E1 signal when I
turn the E16 switch on and off.  For whatever reason it now works and I
thank you.  Here is a list of what I have.  Activehome pro with the
white box and usb thing.  2 cameras one color one black and white.  2
lamp modules.  1 three way in wall switch.  1 wall switch (now working
thanks to Mr. G).  1 Socket rocket.  1 brown motion detector.  1 white.
 1 220v coupler on my dryer.  1 ninja pan and tilt turtle.  1 appliance
module.  1 TM (the thing that now stays on).  I'm in a two bedroom
home.
    Now all the lights seem to work.  The socket rocket is on a shelf.
I don't care to mess with that now.  Here is my next question.

    The ninja pan and tilt works well with the remote control however
it does not always work with Activehome Iwitness.  Sometimes it works
most times it does not.  The camera works (when my D-link is off) but
the motion does not.  I have unplugged everything in the house except
my computer as it controls the camera.  (If you ever try this don't
forget to switch the hotwater heater back on.)  Trust me it's easy to
forget to do that.  My computer is on a very nice surge protector.  (so
I'm told)  I have moved the plug and camera around the house.  I have
moved the TM around the house.  I have pluged the ninja into the same
outlet as white usb box.  I have purchased 24 feet of usb cable and
moved the white box thing around the house.  (I can now put my Labtec
Web cam in every room of the house with 24 feet why do I want to do
this?)  How does the ninja pan work?  Is it RF or the line signal?
Does the white box on the usb send RF signals?  Why might it not work
with active home?    Thank you all for taking the time to read this.  I
promise future questions will be shorter.
