I have the predecessor to the Ocelot (CPU-XA)and it is essentially the same unit. I could not be happier. The problems I had with the Active Home wer extensive, although I was not running it from my computer. It had a very high number of false triggers that I got fed up with it. The Ocelot (CPU-XA) works so good and the programming is fantastic. I do so many things transparent to the houshold memebers, that they forget it is working for them in the background.
