It's been too long for my enfeebled memory to recall the details and I no
longer have the X-10 software installed but I vaguely recall there was a
checkbox that wasn't very clearly labelled that you needed to check in order
to make use of timers. (I think it had to do with storing them in EEPROM. I
do recall that I answered a similar question a couple of times shortly after
the CM15A was introduced so you might find it with a search of this
newsgroup using my name and "CM15A" (and maybe "AHP").
