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.
