Title: Macro not triggered?
Post by: tyler on November 01, 2005, 10:43:13 AM

Hey,

I set up my first macro last night to
gradually turn on the lights in the morning.
Its set up like this:
If the day is tuesday, and it is 9 am, turn
on lights.  I then saved it and clicked the
on button.  It never turned on this morning
at 9!  What am i doing wrong.  Ive clicked
the blue button to test the macro and it
comes on just fine.  It just wont turn on by
iteself in the morning.  Any ideas?

-Tyler

Do you have the "Timer" ON for 9:00am ?
The macro needs a "trigger" or a timer set to
start.  I have some macro's that are
activated by another X10 trigger event and
some that are activated with the built in timer.

I would suggest removing the condition, and
just setting a timer for the macro. The
condition only does something IF the
house/unit code for the macro gets
activated. Since it MUST be activated at
exactly 9:00am for it to happen, and the
timer can be off by as much as 60 seconds
(it is accurate to the minute, not eh
second), using a condition like that is not
the best idea.
Try without the condition, and see what
happens.

To, SteveRF
I am having trouble also. What do you mean
by "the built in timer" ? It sounds like
what I need to use, but don't how. Thank
you for any help...
