it's not just you!
Okay, I've finally been able to get logged in here to start with this. I too am having all the x10 icons on Homeseer 3, (CM15A, Windows XP) just turn off. The actual lights stay on, but HS3 indicates then all off.
However! In my case, I have isolated it down to an "extended dim" command. One of my newer X10 wall switches supports it, so I tried to include levels in some events, and there it went.
I'm thinking there are a few bugs yet in the HS3 CM15A plugin. For me, Extended Dim does it, for you, the MTCDDVD, whatever that is.
I've also noticed that HS3 doesn't actually trigger off incoming X10 commands, only off virtual devices set to those addresses... Which is unfortunate...
And, it doesn't really support "All off" commands, instead it sends an off for each unit code, at 1 second apiece so it takes 16 seconds to turn off a whole house code instead of 1. And since it can't trigger directly off received X10 commands, like "F All Off", I can't have it send an all off to my Z-wave devices.
Sorry, that started to ramble and I don't know if those need to be separate threads, but they all seem to be related to the CM15A plugin on Windows, and not knowing what to do with some of the more "new" (?) parts of X10?
Of course, I have no idea where else to go with this, I'm pretty new.
