CM15Pro and Windows 7

Post by philguk »

I have two problems with a newly purchased CM15Pro (on Windows 7 Ultimate)

1. I installed the latest ActiveHome software from Marmiteks website, but when I connect the CM15Pro Windows reports it's an unrecognised device. Nothing I do in the way of uninstall/reinstall or refreshing the drivers makes any difference

2. The CM15Pro will not respond to commands from my RF HR10 either (although my existing TM13 is working fine, so I know the HR10 is OK)

ANY suggestions on a next step would be welcome (I've asked Marmitek the same questions, but this forum may give me a quicker answer. I can't believe I am the only person trying this with Win 7

(btw, I've tried my wifes trusty Win XP machine as well - this fails in exactly the same way)

I'm left wondering if I have a duff CM15Pro

UPDATE -:-

I found some suggestions from Marmiteck (which I knew would be a waste of time) but they WORKED and now I can see my CM15Pro from Win 7 (Hooray)

BUT it still does not respond to my HR10 - what might I have done wrong. It's certainly looking like most of this is the dreaded user error

Many thanks

Can you switch another x10 device with the hr10 via the cm15?

No not at all

I can switch x10 devices from the pc attached to he CM15 and timed switching works OK

That's all

Is there something I need to set to make the CM15 aware it needs to listen for radio traffic?

Strange, there is no setting to my knowledge
So either your remote or cm is defect, or a batt problem
But i guess you checked

I'll check the battery, but certainly the remote must be OK

Start Active Hiome Pro
go to Tools > Hardware Interface Configuration.
there you can select the house codes the CM15Pro has to transceive.
When updated, F2 will show you the Activity monitor.

And I have also found (I think) how to use a macro to turn a powerline command into an RF one...

Watch this space (and thanks for the suggestions)

I also found a way to create a macro loop

Oops

I had a macro looking for C2 ON before issuing an RF C2 ON.....

The RF triggered the macro again (and again and again .........)

Shan't do THAT again
