Title: Module works from AHP but not when macro runs
Post by: bigmac on August 06, 2012, 08:12:43 PM

AHP 3.313
SMART MACROS
CM15A
RR501
X10 PRO PHASE COUPLER

I have a macro to turn on an appliance module (floor lamp) that will work when I manually turn it on in AHP or by the remote.  When the macro runs it shows in AHP that it turns on and off as it should, but the module does not activate????

If you are controlling an Appliance Module, why does the screen show it as a DIMMABLE lamp module?

Are you 100% sure everything is working the way you want  and is setup correctly.   The Activity Monitor is showing it works correctly.   Where is the X10 Pro Phase Coupler mounted?

Dave W:  Very good question............I originally had an LM14a there.  Once it started messing up I swapped out the module to see if it would correct the issue.

The coupler is wired in the breaker box.  All other X10 products work properly (other than cameras, which I've pretty much given up on).

It just seems strange that I can operate the module from the remote or manually through AHP.

The macro is sending a "Bright 100%". The appliance module doesn't understand that, so it ignores it.
When you use the remote, it is sending an "on" command, that the module understands. When you manually turn it on in AHP, it also sends an "ON" command.
Change the module type from a "Lamp" to an "Appliance," and that should fix the macro.

Thank you NOAM.  Changed module and that seems to have fixed it.
