x10 ActiveHome (1.42), DST, & Windows XP

What do ActiveHome version 1.42, daylight savings time, and Windows XP spell?  Problems for me!  Everytime we have a DST change (like today), my ActiveHome automation system simply stops working. 

I have to manually re-download to the x10 CM11A controller to get the system to start working again.  I could never really understand why, because the data is already in the unit.  I check it before I make any changes.  I’m still planning on upgrading to the new USB version.

Check-out our article: Home Automation – Who Needs It? for more on that.
