Title: Motion Detector does not trigger macro
Post by: tom probasco on December 31, 2004, 01:59:42 AM

I seem to have found a bug. I have a Front
Porch configured as a room with the
following modules:

1) Porch Light (F1) set to Decorator Style
Wall switch.
2) Porch Sensor (F15) set to an Eagle Eye
Motion detector.

I created a Front porch macro that simply
turns the poarch light on, waits 1 minute
and then turns the porch light off. The
Eagle Eye Motion sensor (set to F15) On
event is used as a trigger for my Front
Poarch macro. When the sensor detects
motion I can see the Porch sensor trigger
the macro, but the porch light never comes
on. The Porch Sensor "On event" is logged
in the Porch Macro log. If I manually run
the Porch Macro the light comes on.

It seems that I had a similar problem (if I
remember correctly), you have to down load
the timers and macros to the module for this
to work. Try that and let me know if I am
correct.

Is your macro addressed as F15 On or is it
addressed as F1 on? Your macro must be
addressed the same as the triggering event.
The macro address must be set as F15 ON
with the commands within the macro as
F1 ON
DELAY 1 minute
F1 OFF

Activity monitor should show the commands
as executing (delays don't show up). If you
don't at least see the F1 On then things
are not connected up properly.
