  • X10 WiFi hub

    From Mike Bell@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jan 26 14:02:11 2018
    Does anyone have experience with the new X10 WiFi hub WM100 (https://www.x10.com/wm100.html)?

    Besides general impressions, I am particularly interested in knowing whether it needs connection to a remote server. (The description claims you can control devices from your phone "anywhere you have internet access," but the product manual does not
    describe setting up an account anywhere.)

    I would also like to know whether it has an API that would allow programming from elsewhere than the phone app.

    Is the WM100 configured properly? My first thought is that the house
    code is set incorectly, but that is just a guess.

    realmente no es necesario ningun dispositivo adicional deberia funcionar correctamente , sin envargo debe existir o el modulo de seguridad o el dispositivo que le permite utilizar los controles remotos , eso ayudaria
    tomar en cuenta que esten conectados a la misma fase la instalación y el modulo wi fi hub

    It could also be the house circuit issue. Does it work if your dryer or stove is on? If it does there are components that allow the command signal to cross from one 120 v to the other in you house wiring.

    I would also like to know whether it has an API that would allow programming from elsewhere than the phone app.

    First, the phone app communicates with a dedicated server in the cloud (once the WM100 and your app are configured properly). The Server then communicates with the WM100.

    Second, as of now the API is not published so if the server goes down your WM100 will continue to operate as scheduled, but you will not be able to issue changes or commands. A power failure will then wipe out the existing configuration until the server
    comes back up and you reconnect with your app.

    Thw WM100 only uses 2.4 GHz WiFi, your phone may be connecting to 5 GHz so it won't see the WM100

    Never had a issue with it losing connection, except when when I changed out routers, had to reset.
