Question
When I connect my USB ActiveHome Interface (CM15A), Windows tells me it has found an Unknown Device. I have the driver installed; how do I fix this? Note: even after performing the steps below this has to be done over again the next day. What is the cause of this problem?
Answer
If Windows tells you it has found an unknown device when you plug in the CM15A ActiveHome Pro Interface, please follow these steps:

- Unplug the interface from its electrical outlet.
- Remove the batteries from the interface.
- Reconnect the USB cable to it.
