Homeowner Forum / Home Automation / July 2008CM19A
I obtained a CM19A at a garage sale and hooked it up to the serial port and nothing happens. I tried to signal it with a keychain remote but did not get any response or indication on the computer that the device works even though the LED lights up. I was under the impression this device received all codes. Am I doing something incorrect? Did you configure the software for it? >I obtained a CM19A at a garage sale and hooked it up to the serial port >and nothing happens.

Am I doing something incorrect? Oops, this is a MR26A. After looking at pictures on the net I finally got my magnifier out to read the torn up and faded label. Of course it still has the same problem. I apologize for the confusion. > There was no software as it was on the table in a plastic sandwich bag. I > suppose I'm out of luck?

It's been a long time so my memory may be corrupted but I think the Firecracker software will report MR26A output. http://www.x10.com/support/support_soft1.htm The port needs to be configured for 9600 8N1. It outputs 5 bytes for each standard X-10 RF code. The protocol is described at... http://software.x10.com/pub/manuals/cm17a_protocol.txt Not to worry - you'll be up and running shortly. The software you need is here: ftp://ftp.x10.com/pub/applications/firecracker/xfire.exe and these will be of interest: http://www.myx10.com/ and: http://www.smarthomediscounts.com/manuals/mr26a-is.pdf > Oops, this is a MR26A. > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >>>>impression this device received all codes.

Thanks much to everyone who assisted me with their knowledge. > Not to worry - you'll be up and running shortly. > The software you need is here: [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] >>>>>works even though the LED lights up.
