Err, what status window? The only thing that looks like a status window gets displayed when SDM exists, and it is always blank. I did look a the log files in the timer folder and it looks like the commands are getting logged and sent successfully, just no response from the lights. No errors in the mobilinc either.
I verified the x10 code for accuracy, I tried several outlets but they did not work either. The old controller I am attempting to replace works fine, so I don't believe a filter would be required, but I recall having issues with that as well when it was plugged in near the PC so maybe that is part of the problem. I cannot move it too far away since it has to be teathered with the usb to work with SDM.
I am going to try using my laptop to access the PLC so I can plug it into the outlet that the existing PLC controller is plugged into (not a 2414u by the way, just an old x10 smarthome model).
Since it seems I cannot use the 2414U with my existing smarthome manager (eventhough smarthome told me I could) looks like I am sending it back if I cannot get it to work.
