X10 WiFi

The app worked for about a week and for some reason after that it would not connect. So I tried reconnecting it again and in the process it wiped out all the devices I had set up and when I scan the QR Code I get the error “The APP failed to register user. Please try again”. Plus the app doesn’t have macros like the PC version.

I have used X10 for 30 years. Last really good interface was CM11. Everything since troublesome. X10 is always years behind other systems. Have had CM15 & CM19.; both work but have limited capabilities. WM100 looked like a dream come true. It works fine on iPad 4 with iOS 10.Xcode. Worked OK on iPhone 5S. Switched to iPhone SE 2020 in June 2021. It worked pretty well. Phone updated to iOS 15 and WM hasn’t worked since. It occasionally worked, then quit completely. Tried to reinstall as new WM100, but it won’t even read the QR code. Yes, it’s on 2.4 band. 5 GHz has been around since 1999; the WM100 since about 2017. It was stupid to not make it dual band. So many X10 light switches still were designed for incandescent lamps and won’t work with CFLs or LEDs which consume much less power than the 45 watts minimum that X10 switches require. I have found a few bulbs that will work, but most will not. I have a bunch of useless duplex outlets as a result. Supposedly the latest AM466 3-pin appliance will work with anything and does not have the 45 watt minimum. Either this claim is false or they sold me the old models. I can’t tell because they didn’t have the sense to give it a new model number. I have long been disappointed, but now I am very ANGRY. I am looking at other systems, but haven’t made a decision, yet. I am sure there is widespread anger out there now.

So it’s been now 4 years with little to no improvements. App still only supports one X10 Wi-Fi unit per mobile device. So if you bought more than one of the Wi-Fi controllers you have to install the app on separate mobile devices. Many of the other companies have figured out how to enable one smart phone to control multiple devices yet not so for x10. If they are wondering why the cannot sell more units this is the reason. We would have bought more but no one lugs around multiple devices just to control their automation.

Since finding out everything I need to do on line can be done on an IPad, I no longer need or have a computer. Controlling lights with my phone is the one small luxury I lost. This app along with the X~10 module gave me that luxury back. While the “rooms” and “scenes” features are nice to have, I personally don’t use them. What I can tell you is, “ With X~10 you are only limited by your imagination as to what you can do with them.” Everything from controlling one light on your garage to a complete smart home including security and video.

Easy to set up and it worked without one glitch. Not bad us long-time X10 users.

When one goes to setup and starts the setup process it locks up the app. You must delete the app and reinstall it to recover. Crazy

Today is 14 Mar 2021 and my 6AM sprinklers did NOT come on! Why??? X-10’s programmers some how can’t figure out the algorithms or don’t know when these happenings occur. Not once has my device understood DST. I ALWAYS have to make a MANUAL changes. I rarely review apps. However, I’ve been using these devices since the 1980’s. The little pod works better than anything they’ve ever had before. However, no 5ghz Wi-Fi and these DST problems make me think that development of newer X-10 products has halted. I hope not. Please fix. I’m too vested in X-10. It works ~95–97% of the time. Hub WiFi problems are very tedious. Sometimes 3-4x’s to re-synch. Happens somehow on DST days. What a coincidence! Please fix!
