Post by: Tuicemen on October 06, 2006, 11:17:32 AM

This will be a work in progress since I've just started using this plug-in!

• Some Smartmacros have to be downloaded to the interface to work properly but using a security module won't let you! first discovered by RJMiller the fix is here (http://www.x10community.com/forums/index.php?topic=10345.msg59731#msg59731)

• In order to have all your security modules on one house code you must specify the address before you specify module type when configuring the modules
  If you don't fix is here (http://www.x10community.com/forums/index.php?topic=10419.msg59808#msg59808) pointed out by JMac clarified with pic from me!
   
• Add sound for when sensors are triggered  Topic: X10WavPlayer(Add Sound to AHP) (http://www.x10community.com/forums/index.php?topic=10730.0)
   
• I can't stress this enough Always have a backup of your AHX file  
  .
• Use Phantoms/dummy/virtual modules to trigger macros you wish your security devices to
  Here's How:

• 1: make a Phantom module
  
• 2: make your macro you wish your security device to trigger using the phantoms address as the trigger
  
• 3: make another macro which turns on the phantom device using the security open/arm as the trigger
  
• 4: make another macro which turns the Phantom device off using the security closed/disarm as the trigger
  Now every time the security device triggers it turns on the phantom sending the signal to run the security macro
