I can find no fault with it, other than the fact that it
has a weak IR emitter output (designed for "stick-on"
emitters), and so requires a a Powermid to amplify it
for action at a distance (the HV has the same limitation).
I predict that the CPU-XA (and related modules) will soon
dominate the HA controller market.
