Macro not working
« on: December 27, 2010, 07:44:35 PM »

I've got a simple macro trigger is C5 On.  Action is D3 On and then E1 On.  I can press the macro button in AHP and it works.  I download it to the CM15A and when I press C5 On E1 turns on but not D3.  I look at the Activity Monitor and it says the macro sent D3 On and E1 On.  I tried deleting the macro downloading to the CM15A and then adding the macro again and downloading to the CM15A.  I've tried clearing the interface/CM15A's memory and then downloading the macros again.  Nothing works.  Then I tried reversing the order I turned the devices on.  I said when you receive C5 On turn E1 On then D3 On.  Guess what.  Now it turns on D3 but not E1.  So it's skipping the first one.  I added a 3 second pause between them.  Still no help.  What could be going on?

Just wanted to make a couple more notes.  Both D3 and E1 are appliance modules.  When I'm testing I'm using a HR12A remote to send the C5 On command to the CM15A which has the macro stored in it.  Like I said I can't get it to run the first command in that macro.  It's obvious the CM15A has the macro in it as the second command is done.  I can see in the Activity monitor where it says it's doing what it should but it isn't.  It consistently doesn't run the first one.  I've tried adding a delay as the first thing in the macro but that doesn't help either.

Just as a test, try adding a "dummy" module (Take an unused address, and assign a module to it in AHP), and use that as the first command in the macro. See if that makes any difference in how the macro executes.

Yes, that works.  I'm going with that solution.  Thanks.

That's a really strange problem.
You might have some corruption in your AHX file, that's all I can think of.
Have you tried creating a brand new file, with just that one macro, and see how that works?

Don't know but I did find out that if I put a longer pause at the beginning it would work and that's ok with me so I'm happy.  Thanks for the help.
