Title: Trouble with Macro: need help
Post by: jipe63 on April 08, 2008, 02:06:22 AM: Hello,
I've got a CM11 and everything was ok. Now I use a CM15 with vista.

I've got 12 modules SW10 in my house (F1...F12).
I want to make Macro to open and close my module.
I write 3 Macro E1...E3 : E1 open all at 6h30, E2 close all except 2 in TV room at 20h30, E3 close the last 2 in TV room at 22h30 (Timer are on Macro)
Only E3 works.... :(
There is no condition on Macro
I put delay in Macro to not send all order at the same time...

This morning I change the address of maco to F13-F14-F15
I will see tonight if it changes something.

I've you got an idea ?
Thanks

This is my Macro with new adress

It should be working. You have attached timers to your macros - right? Try adding a 1 second delay between your modules in your macro.

J’ai remarqué que les noms de tes modules / macros sont en français. Petites règles de base avec AHP avec lesquelles il faut composer lorsque le français est utilisé (expérience personnelle…) :

- Aucun caractère accentué dans le nom des modules / macros – Important!
- Modules / macros doivent tous avoir des noms différents même si le « trigger » est différent.

thanks Martin to help me

I change all my module and macro names to have no accent and no space.
I put a delay of 5s between each order in the macros.

I will see tomorrow...

yesterday, everything was OK.... then it stopped !! the two last commands were not be send. I start my PC and I couldn't activate anything from activehome >:(

I went to bed. This morning I start my PC and I can manage everything from activehome, so I download all my macro in CM15 and I wait this evening.

I spend the same time to debug that I would spend to close and open my shutter in all my life ;)

bye

The macro sometime work sometime not...

This morning all is blocked : i have to remove the battery of the CM15 because i cannot command anything from activehome pro.
I download an other time all my macro : i suppress the long delay in macro to see...

I think that in some days my CM15 will be back to reseller ....

bye

Otherwise it is just a reasonably entertaining timewaster.

Post by: Dan Lawrence on April 16, 2008, 11:40:27 PM: I totally disagree with you. AHP is not "buggiest code I have EVER seen in a piece of commercial software". I've never had a moments problem with it.

So i send my CM15 to the reseller, and he returns me a new one... but the result is the same : the macro and the timer make what they want :(
The interface works well in "manual" mode from PC even the macros, but when i store all in the interface the problems appear : Macros start but don't finish or don't start... Sometime a device is activate even if its code is not use...
I change my house code from F to D but it's the same
My device are SW10.

I see also that the interface doesn't store the good house identifier (in my case it's D and the hardware configuration says always A) The time remaining for battery is always on 48...

Do you think that could be VISTA the problem ?

PS : sorry for my poor english
