Vision has now been down for two days. DAMN SPRINT! This is getting
ridiculous.

Yep, still down for me too. However, Mobi-MLB still works (I had
cancelled it, then re-subscribed). For an extra $7.99 per month I would
have been real ticked off (again) if they knocked out a service I'm
paying extra for--above and beyond Vision itself.
Regardless, I don't see how this can be part of the EV-DO upgrade if the
backend data infrastructure is chugging right along. It looks like they
are merely updating the Vision (mobile) Website itself. Why that
couldn't be done separately (while the old site was still up), tested,
and then switched instantly to the new server/version is beyond me. But
this is SPCS--if there's a long way to do something, they will find
it...

No problems, here, in the mountains of Colorado.

Re: Vision is Still Down!!
I take that back.. Vision works, but the Vision home page doesn't work
which I'm assuming is what you're talking about.. in that case, The Vision
homepage is down here in Phoenix.. but Vision services themselves work just
fine..

Re: Vision is Still Down!!
I am now back up. I use vision to monitor and control my home automation
system and therefore it causes me a problem when it is down for an excessive
amount of time.

Re: Vision is Still Down!!
I access Vision with a phone handset. I run a special wap web server so that
I can access my home automation system to monitor and control devices.

Just out of curiosity, what software? HAI?

We moved, about a year ago, where I had X-10'd the house from head to toe.
Over time, I found myself plugging just about everything into a filter, in
order to maintain a reasonable signal level.
In our new place, I went with UPB. Very similar to X-10, but slightly more
expensive and *much* more reliable. (There are a few other technologies,
out there, but, for us, they became prohibitively expensive.)
I tied the home automation to our alarm system's brain (HAI OmniPro II),
and to a program called Home Control Assistant. Between HAI and HCA, I
can even add X-10 modules, to trigger UPB devices, and vice versa. All in
all, it's become a very flexible (and fun!) system.

X10 and othe Home Control Stuff
Notan,
Your system sounds really cool!
In my opinion, X10 is not a good solution for non-engineers. I have a signal
meter that I can use in order to determine what devices are attenuating the
signal. X10 signal attenuation is becoming more of a problem as more
electronic devices incorporate switching power supplies. Switching power
supplies are very efficient and small as compared to normal
transformer/rectifier combinations, however they generate high frequency
noise. In order to minimize the high frequency noise, vendors of equipment
that incorporate switching power supplies use filters in order to remove the
high frequency component that is generated by the switching power supplies.
Unfortunately, these filters severely attenuate X10 signals.
In order to deal with this problem, I purchased a small signal meter from
smarthome.com about a year ago. The meter measures X10 signal strength at
any AC outlet. With the X10 signal meter, it is simple to locate the device
that are attenuating the X10 signal. I can usually accomplish this in 10
minutes or less and install a filter on the device. I also use one the
signal coupler/amplifiers that plugs into a dryer outlet in order to boot
signal strength along with several other signal boosters in AC outlets at
strategic positions.
Yes, X10 is a pain and there is something better on the horizon from
Smarthome called "Insteon". Insteon uses both RF and the power line to
transmit signals to a device.. Each device functions as a signal repeater
and a signal coupler/amplifier is not needed. The only problem with Insteon
and other devices is the SLOW introduction of new products. Since I
currently have about 30 X10 devices, I am going to live with them for the
next year or two until all of the devices that I need to replace all of my
X10 devices are available in Insteon offerings. The problem is: "You name
the X10 device, and I have it", therefore I need to replace a lot of
different X10 device types.
The problem I am facing now is finding good outdoor X10 RF motion detectors
that do give so many false alarms. Any suggestions?
Regards,
-mij

Northern California. Noticed it was down Friday afternoon.
It's now Sunday night and it's still down.

Re: Vision is Still Down!!
Ditto in SF. No Vision Home page, but bookmarks work.
I can get to several of the same services as Vision (news, sports,
weather, movies, reference) from
http://wap.sprintusers.com/wap
so go there and then set it as a bookmark.
Or from your computer, visit
http://www.sprintusers.com/wap/web/
for more info and other ways to get your phone to the site.
Its link to the Vision home page fails.
