The (expletive deleted) SmartHome USB X10 transceiver has been a disappointment to say the least. But I put up with it, seeing nothing better.
Often, when I reboot the computer, HS's log says that the device was not found at start-up of HS. The cure is to power cycle the SmartHome and also to replug the USB cable.
When it does fail, HS merrily keeps doing failed X10 commands with no log error entries.
What I need is an email or beep in the speaker or some such, when the (expletive) device fails to initialize or ceases to work during operation, as it is also want to do.
Yes, I have the latest drivers. I wish for a better interface - that device also has very low X10 signal level.
Suggestions?
