I started a new topic for easier searching down the road should someone have this problem.
I was thinking my CM11a had finally died, however it's not dead... at least not completely. Here's what's going on.
I tested the communications between the PowerHome computer and the CM11a (they are not in the same room). I opened the multi-editor and used this formula:
ph_connect(main) where "main" is the name of the CM11a.
It returns the following:
Formula Evaluation
Execution time: 0.000 seconds.
The formula evaluates to:!
Clearly it is not connecting (or I'm entering the incorrect formula). HOWEVER, if I send any commands to X10 devices from other controllers, and palm pads the event log shows them correctly. Buuut, if I use PH to send a command the event log shows them, but nothing happens to the module(s) the command was sent to.
I'm starting to wish I didn't finally have some time to work on this stuff.
Now I don't know if the CM11a is working or not!!!

Formula is wrong. A return value of "!" indicates a syntax error. In this case, if your CM11A controller has an ID of MAIN on the Controllers screen of the PowerHome Explorer, the correct syntax should be:
ph_connect("MAIN")
Need either single or double quotes around a string and it should be capitalized (although lower case will work, a future upgrade to the database..beyond my control..may enforce proper case).
You can check if PowerHome is at least properly recognizing your any of your connected controllers by going to Help|About|Controllers.
Hope this helps,
Dave.
