Hi Guys, any comments on Tim's suggestion below....
I hadn't thought about using xAP with HomeVision, is there a xAP ->
HomeVis=
ion connector?

Cheers
Graham

What about running xAP or xPL on the PC and periodically send an
"ON"
signal. Inside HomeVision you have a countdown timer which is reset by
the xAP/xPL message. If the xAP/xPL message is not received then the
countdown timer times-out and HV sends a reboot signal via X10.

Would that work?

HTH,

Tim.
