Title: wish list
Post by: jerryray on January 25, 2005, 10:35:03 PM
I would like to see a all macro off switch
and in addition an all timer off switch.

Macros are inherently OFF until they are
triggered - they can't run on their own.
Timers can be turned off - if you goto the
timer window and look at your listing for a
particular timer you will see that there is
a check-mark next to it - un-check it -
your timer no longer runs - simple as that
and it saves you from having to reprogram
the timers.

Donald, thanks for the reply . I use The IR
sensors to run macros. I have set unused
buttons to halt the macro, Used the if else
statements, I have 4 of these running, be
nice to stop them with one key.

If you have Smart macros then set up and
test using conditional flags - you could
use 1 key to shut down your macros. As part
of your conditions use the flag, assign a
macro to the remote key desired and turn
off the flag - when your macros check the
flag they won't run. That should satisfy
your need for 1 key the shut everything
down!
