Special deal. Purchase the CM11A and ELK-USB232 together and save 5%
The CM11A Computer Interface connects to your PC and sends signals over your existing house wiring to control lights and appliances connected to X10 modules. The interface even works with the PC switched off. Once the interface has been programmed, the PC is no longer needed. Two standard AAA batteries retain the time, schedule events and macros for up to 500 hours even if the power fails. You can even unplug the interface after programming it and plug it in someplace else in your home.
ActiveHome has been tested on, and is compatible with, Windows XP. Make sure to install it on a "clean" system (no previous installs of the software). If you have already installed ActiveHome, begin with an uninstall. Then download version 1.42 for Windows XP (http://www.x10.com/software). During the installation, a box comes up that tells you the software defaults to Com port 2 and asks you if you want to change this. If you are using a serial port other than Com port 2, select the correct port at this time. When the program is first opened, click on File | New, and create a blank file to start with.
Note: Do not use the demo file or any previously saved files, click on File>>New and create a blank file to start from.
