Hello All,
Well, after a few weeks batteling, my X10 system is back up and running - and all my problems were down to the good (bad) old computer interface - the CM11U - which despite my making extra cooling holes, decided it no longer wanted to receive any X10 commands in until I had left it unplugged for 24 hours (no batteries in it since it was installed, so much have been a heat issue).
Looking around, and from my own posts and replies from others, we all know that the CM11U is a load of old tosh. However, not willing to invest £450+ for a HomeVision control box (yes, it does all good things, but I just want to get and send X10 via the computer).
So, can somebody explain what the differences are between the CM11U, CM12 and CM15pro.
For instance, I believe that the CM15pro is much more stable. BUT, looking at the pictures, it does not have a plug - so how do the X10 signals get out? And is the CM15pro better at dealing with the heat/hang issues?
Also, does the CM15pro work via serial, or just USB?
Many thanks in advance
