My system is showing some reliability issues.
It's
not that things
don't happen, it's how long before they
happen. For
example, I have
a "go to bed" macro that turns all the lights
off,
leaving a couple on
for 30 mins.
Quite often I press the button on my Pronto
and
nothing happens.
I can wait 20 seconds - nothing. I end up
pressing
it again, and
again. Then all of a sudden it works, except
that
it had really worked
the first time but something had delayed it. I
end
up with those
couple of lights fading to off about 4 times
causing a disco light
effect downstairs, just as you are falling off
to
sleep.
However, I also have some motion sensors that
trigger a macro
that turns outside lights on (indirect) - this
works fairly quickly
in most cases.
So, is it my PC? Is it a software issue with
HomeSeer? Is there
something I can configure? Would an IR sensor
on
the PC rather
than the X10 all house code IR unit I'm
using
help? Would moving
to something like HomeVision help this at all? Or is it an inherent
issue with X10 that
I need to live with?
Looking for inspiration and help before the
other
half discovers this...
Bov!
