Timers not working same with macros
« on: March 27, 2009, 12:14:43 PM »

I have two socket rockets on a motion censer. And a marco when activated from motion censer should stay on for 10 min. But it rarly does i have too adjust the time too 2 hours then it stays on for a few min. Also set up timers to wake us up. It worked one day. But not now? I thought it might have something to do with daylight savings.

I have all the plugins. Sorry guys im typing this on iphone.

To start with, are the motion sensors set to a different address than the socket rockets?

If you are using macros for control, you should not have the socket rockets set to the same address as the motion sensor. I suspect the off delay signal from the motion sensor is what is shutting off your socket rockets earlier than you want.

I haven't had much luck with Socket Rockets myself.

Tried one on the Porch with a Motion Sensor.. Sometimes it worked and most of the time it didn't.

Then I installed Wall Switch and a MS16A.....  >! Works like a charm EVERYTIME now!
