Hi Guys,
Thanks for the work you do. EventGhost is so coo..........l
This is my first time!
My note is about CM15Pro.
I found some infomation on the web about the driver failing to install. It was nothing to do with the EventGhost plugin CM15A. Instructions:- Unplug it from the mains and remove the battry for at list 30secs
As you can see from the macro bellow it seems say 'Yes Sir'!
My point here guys is to find some info. about what to do to make Play,Pause and or Stop only listen to XBMC videos only! Not pictures and music. I don't know how to do the event sender/receiver thing.
I must admit guys that I'm not any good at programing, you know! the py, vb and the like
<EventGhost Version="1030">
<Macro Name="Play" Expanded="True">
<Event Name="MceRemote.Play" />
<Action>
XBMC.Play()
</Action>
<Action>
EventGhost.Wait(2.0)
</Action>
<Action>
X10_CM15A.TransmitX10(0, 0, 0, 3, 10)
</Action>
<Action>
EventGhost.Wait(5.0)
</Action>
<Action>
X10_CM15A.TransmitX10(0, 0, 0, 3, 7)
</Action>
<Action>
EventGhost.Wait(3.0)
</Action>
<Action>
X10_CM15A.TransmitX10(0, 0, 0, 3, 3)
</Action>
</Macro>
</EventGhost>
The CM15 is even sending and receiving codes for my Medion MD8800 PC!
Any one please help.
Kind regards.
Eman.

no with X10 you can only intercept when you send rf X10 command or plc command from another controller.
I have tested X10 CM15A plugin (version with comtypes) with last EvenGhost 0.37.r1387, plc command works but when i send one rf command the first work and loggued and for next event (rf or plc) the plugin freeze, no events works I must restart Eventghost until first rf command freeze the X10 CM15A plugin.
Anyone have this problem ?

Thanks for you answer DeanONH,
I bought CM15 Pro for your plugin !
I installed E.G. 0.37.r1262 and any previous versions, I have the same problem.
I use CM15 Pro (it's the European version of CM15A), ActiveHome Pro is installed on my Computer.
I will re-test with fresh windows installation.

I have the same problem: the first RF command received by CM15 freeze the plugin.
I tried also under Windows Seven: same problem.
Someone have a idea what is the problem ? My CM15 is not defect because it's works perfectly with Active Home Pro.

DeanONH do you use also receive rf command with your cm15 or only use plc command ?

Can anyone confirm that this plugin still works? seems like all the post in 2010 are seeing a freeze problem, also i notice that this plugin is no longer in the latest EG install (3.7.r1462) but i do see an x10 plugin (is it the same)

Anyone using this plugin? I tried to install it but it complains about some global name "msg" not defined
Was wondering if anyone got this working, would love to have a real x10 plugin for the CM15a. Thanks

I receive the following error message any time I try to add the X10_CM15A plugin:
Error starting plugin: X10_CM15A
File "C:\Program Files (x86)\EventGhost\eg\Classes\PluginInfo.py", line 330, in Start
File "C:\Program Files (x86)\EventGhost\plugins\X10-CM15A\__init__.py", line 95, in __start__
NameError: global name 'msg' is not defined
I have the comtypes package, activehome pro, and the activehome sdk.
I'm using a CM19A hooked directly to my computer. It works through ActiveHome Pro.
Any suggestions? Thanks

I found the solution, it looks like the plugin folder is "read only" when extracted from the zip. Just remove the read only and you don't get the error anymore. I haven't tested the plugin much, but it seems to work.

You, sir, are a genius! I never would have thought to look for that! One simple fix, and it works perfectly! I wish I'd posted on this forum before I wasted hours of tweaks and driver reinstalls etc. thanks so much!!!

Glad I could help, unfortunately I spent the same few hours doing the same things you probably did until I figured it out too.

Is anyone using this plugin? I ask because I'm using it and it's working fairly well, however I have an issue with receiving RF signals, the signals don't seem to send a eventghost event immediately and it seems to like cache it instead. Then when other X10 things happen, then the cached events show up but only like a couple at a time. Very strange.
