I take it there is nothing else using A16 that could make it shut off? or maybe you have the timer set up wrong?
you could try not using a timer right now and just manual turn it on to see if it shuts of after the macro.

Try a different unit code to see if that helps.

I had the module set to "OFF" when the macro started.....

One more question...... When I set the conditions up I had to pick A16 because no other House Codes showed up, so I couldn't use "D"

How do I fix that?

You have to set the Monitored House Code to D....................



Monitored House Code = The ActiveHome Pro interface keeps track of the status of the modules on the Monitored House Code, and reports this data to the computer when it is connected or reconnected. Choose which House Code you want to monitor in Tools-Hardware Configuration. This is the house code designated for use as a module condition for the Smart Macros plugin. If you build a conditional macro


Go to "tool" menu in AHP and then click "hardware configuration" then in the lower right hand corner on the box that pops up it will say
"Monitored House Code" just pick the house code you want to monitor

Ok.. So if I'm understanding right you can only pick one house code to monitor?

Because I tried to enter code "D" and it told me I have more items using "A" then I do "D".....

Yes only one.

It only pops up and said that cause you are using more A modules then any others. but still OK to switch it to D just have to remember that D is set to be Monitored. I use D house code for my Dummy modules. Kinda going of the kindergartener theme D is for dummy  rofl

Excellent Job Jsnlong!

WAF (Wife Approval Factor) is a very important part of most of our setups. As a hobby goes.. X10 isn't all that expensive.. so I sometimes claim X10 to be my Home Automation Hobby. In reality Home Automation is a lifestyle... at least for me. My wife has found several parts of the automation setup she really enjoys. Making sure the wife gets what she wants from the automation is key to high WAF.
