Glad to hear there was success in identifying the problem to Autonomic. Thanks for working with them on it! Any news on solving the issue? On a side note, I've isolated that occasional crash I mentioned in my last msg where a dialog box came up ""Windows Media Player Database Corrupted..."...

Thanks, it'll be interesting to see what happens. I was going to report back on my Pandora/Musicport status a day after my last post, but unfortunately the server crashed and I had to reboot, so I'll have to "reset the timer" and start testing again fresh. I'm not sure what the crash problem...

Machine is a Win7 Ultimate 32 PC, dedicated to all my automation drivers. I think it's an I5-661 CPU, Gigabyte UD4p motherboard. 4 GB RAM. Using a free Pandora account. Software is the latest Nuvo Configurator Software + newer Autonomic Mirage software (latest as of a few months ago...

Thanks for the heads-up msudawg. (Didn't get alerted to your msg until yesterday unfortunately). Confirmed, time problem is fixed. Woohoo!! I'm guessing it won't change anything about the Pandora stability issues (which seems to be a part of the Autonomic driver?) but one can hope I suppose...

I have a Centralite Elegance XL hooked up via serial port to the Elk M1G. More here regarding the lighting delays encountered with the Elk: http://www.cocoontech.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=14063 Hopefully it's just a bump in the road for me. I'm going to start implementing CQC for my...

How much would one pay for an advanced motion detector that would talk to an Elk? My answer is $0.00, since (please, someone correct me if I'm wrong) the Elk is worthless in time-sensitive situations of triggering lights etc without imposing a huge 1 or more second delay from when the sensor...

Just wanted to say thanks for spending the time with them, hopefully that (firmware?) update comes out soon! I wrote up & submitted to Autonomic the "Connecting to Source" issue that myself and others get hit by every 1 to 4 days. Unfortunately I only received a form-response telling me how to...

Bill & Msudawg, thanks for the responses. Sounds like I need to provide feedback to Autonomic directly since they don't appear to be active on this forum. At least I know now that all 3 problems I'm seeing aren't specific to my setup. The reliability/stability is very disappointing. I...

Damn, looks like I spoke too soon. I've since hit a couple issues with Music Port & the Autonomic drivers, one of which is major. 1) Just a few minutes ago while listening to Pandora, the song suddenly cut off and the keypad displays "Connecting to source". This message stays on indefinitely...

Just to add another data point to the thread concerning how the original Music Port works, use of the Autotronic driver, etc, in case someone might find this helpful. I installed my Music Port for the first time 2 days ago. After install was completed correctly, it's been running flawlessly...

Yeah, advice like that can sometimes be taken the wrong way.. But guess what? You solved my problem ;). I'm working on erecting a statue in your honor as I type this... I tried changing cables a few minutes ago and for the first time.. The XEP was found! But then I tried re-using the old...

Hi all, I think I have the exact same problem/symptoms as Winston described in his first post in this thread regarding not finding the XEP. The exception is that so far I can't fix the problem like Winston did because I'm not noticing anywhere in my Linksys WRT54GL router menus that show which...

Hi all, With regards to bulb life, I've heard regular & even CFL bulbs can have a much shorter life than their estimated life span if there's frequent on/off usage. Is it correct to assume that an LED light wouldn't have that issue? Our family room (currently being built) has about a 22+ foot...

That helps! ;) Thanks! I'm off to find somewhere to buy MusicPort from!!!

Hi, Thanks for the response! No problem regarding serial ports, I have plenty to spare! (I picked up 2 Edgeport 8's via the $25 deal on Ebay, I think someone posted about that either here or on the CQC forums). Even if you bought the MPS, at some point it will be discontinued for a newer...
