I have just started experimenting with my iPOD touch and
downloaded X10 commander from itunes.
Years ago I experimented with X10 but got frustrated due
to a lack of an adequate remote. Since getting my iPOD
touch I am amazed with the things it can do and very easily.
Anyway I dug out a couple of CM12 interfaces and my X10
Lamp and appliance modules. Everything works fine using
the RF mains interface and keypad but when I plug the
CM12 into the serial port of the PC I can’t get the computer
to control the X10 at all. It seems as if the CM12 is
dead but I have tried 3 and all give the same results..nothing.
I am using Active Home software which I used to use as
this is so simple to set up, and this all worked fine
last time I used it, only difference now is a much newer
PC. Has anyone any suggestions ? Is there an easy way
of me testing the communication of the PC to the mains
network via the CM12 interface ?
Many thanks
Graham
