Man, I am having all kinds of problems getting my CM19a working. I did have this all working at one time with a Visual Basic program which could control a Ninja pan and tilt unit, but that was a while ago. I also changed out computers and operating systems since then.
Here is what I tried so far:
I wanted to use "Case's" CM19a plugin so I could control my X-10 Ninja Pan and Tilt unit from a Homeseer device. After I get this working I wanted to use the Main Lobby Plugin (MLHSPlugin) to control the Ninja via come cool scenes (combined with the camera view).
Anyway, I downloaded Case's plugin and instructions HERE.
I also downloaded the CM19a X-10 drivers HERE (the "x10drivers.exe" file).
I installed the X-10 drivers by just double clicking the executable file, pluged in my CM19a into a USB port (on the computer not a hub), and saw the notice that the new hardware was ready for use. I double checked the device manager and saw that the CM19a was correctly registered as a USB device.
I then copied the hspi_CM19AUSB.ocx file in the Homeseer directory and registered the file using Regsvr32 and saw the dialog box that the ocx file was correctly registered.
I then rebooted the computer, started Homeseer, configured the CM19a as an interface and created a ninja device. I then restarted Homeseer.
It seems like I did everything correctly, yet I can not transmit nor receive anything from the CM19a. I tried reinstalling the drivers, unregistering and re-registering the ocx file, reboot/restart Homeseer, lather/rinse/repeat and could not get this to work.
I also tried this setup on another computer with another CM19a unit (just downloaded the Homeseer trial version on this second machine for testing purposes). All with the same result.
I then tried to include the OCX file as a reference in a Visual Basic program and noticed that the file was not included in the references selection box. So, I'm wondering if the OCX file even got properly registered (even though I got the dialog box saying it was when using Regsvr32).
I tried uninstalling the X-10 drivers (via Control Panel) but it would not go through saying something about a missing log file (stupid X-10 drivers).
Anyone have any suggestions as to what I could try next. This is very frustrating and I wasted a LOT of time yesterday trying to get this to work.
Thanks,
