5 ★ Configuring this to work reliably has been a hit and miss learning curve. I now have it working well on my local network and also managed to get it working from the web too. The problem I had was with the cable companies router not forwarding, I had it changed to a regular modem and issue resolved. An exit app button would be useful too, in my opinion. All in all great work.
5 ★ I had been using this app for a few months and absolutely love it. Then I had to reinstall the app on the PC due to Hard Drive issues. Now I cannot seem to get my Android to connect to the Server. Still worth the 5 stars.
5 ★ I lost my Active Home Pro when my computer crashed, and since reactivation is through the defunct X10 web-site, I had no hope of ever getting it back. I thought I was lost, but then I found this app which is even better than Active Home Pro. I loaded Active Home Vista on to my Windows 10 PC, installed the app on my phone and adjusted my DSL Modem as per the readme.txt, and I am back to controlling my X10 home from anywhere in the connected world. The program resides in the background on the desktop, and can be set to start with Windows, unlike Active Home Pro. It was initially a little confusing setting up the desk-top side of things, because if the window is not maximized, all that is visible are the devices, but once maximized it became fully intuitive. Excellent effort, huge kudos and thanks to the developer.
5 ★ This app is the only thing I found that allows remote access to my 15a. The server runs happily along side active home pro. I have my router port forwarded. Only problem is wan address changes every week or so. Dam DHCP. Anyway, one small problem is the US RF modules won't work, but I think a small tweak in the vista code will fix that issue. This guy is on to something very usefull. If anyone is having problems, its probably a setting you missed. Edit.. App now will control those rf module s! Way to go!
1 ★ This app does not have any instructions on how to get it running. It is not a program for the average person, and you can see the few people who actually got it to work had a hard time getting it running. After My first review of this app I received an email from "the developer" asking why I was screaming, and telling me my review was not helpful. 1st, there were no caps in my review (no screaming) and 2nd, his reply could have been helpful but wasnt, and my review has since been deleted.
5 ★ Brings new life to X-10! Allows me to manage my CM11A interface using Windows 7, so I don't have to dig out my obsolete laptop with XP. I'm no working on setting it up to work remotely with an android device, so if it works, will be better than 5 stars. Customer support is fantastic, thanks Arjan!
5 ★ Awesome app. Make sure you have latest version of PC software and look at the accompanying text file for App setup instructions. A Google+ group has helpful users. This app has made X-10 fun again! Thank you!
4 ★ Got it running on Windows 10, CM15A runs fine through lan but 19A is hit and miss.

5 ★ I recently updated from Windows 7 32 bit to Windows 8.1 64 bit. I connect via serial port to a Firecracker CM17a that X10 sent me for free in the 90's. I have it talking to several X10 receivers. I was surprised to see Active Home Vista work so well with this older equipment. Between the Android app, the macros and scheduling my simple automation requirements are fulfilled. AHV has been very reliable and the X10 modules respond correctly almost 100 percent of the time. It's amazing that AHV allows me to use this old and inexpensive X10 stuff to control things in the house. I first looked into AHV as a solution to buy time until I figured out which newer system to commit to but I'm inclined to stay with X10 for now.
5 ★ Great X 10 app and even greater Tech support. I couldn't get program to work on Android devices. Send Arjan an e mail and with in next to no time he had replied with detailed instructions how to make the connection. Amazing . Thanks for the help and great App. William D. Love
5 ★ I was having some trouble setting up client/server functions on PC and especially Android app. Not sure what I did but it just started working. Love it! Had a bunch of X10 stuff in a closet but now have reason to bring it out. I had all but given up! Thanks!!!
5 ★ This app makes my x10 hardware work remotely using this Android app over the Internet. Now I can turn my house lights on and off when I'm traveling. When I upgraded to Windows 7 a while back I had to put away all my X10 switches, and now they can be usefull once again. It was a bit confusing to get it working, because I found the documentation and the options in the setup screen confusing. I did not realize that must check the Server checkbox in the Communications tab of the Options dlg box & Web Server
4 ★ Had trouble setting up so contacted author. His near immediate response helped me realize I was confusing the webserver password with the server password in communications options. I didn't notice that these are two separate features and I had set them differently. I was not using the communications server password. Now up and running with old X10 devices I had laying around. Very useful.
5 ★ AHV works great!! I have been an X-10 user since the 70's and I was using "Autom8" on my Android phone for control, but it was temperamental.It's nice having AHV on my phone and tablet for remote control.
