Macro Trigger: Motion Sensor ON
Macro Conditions:
1) Time Range: between xx & yy
2) If Flag x is OFF
Macro:
1) Set Flag x
2) Turn ON light C3
3) Delay 30 Seconds
4) Turn OFF light C3
5) Clear Flag x
Note: If there is continued motion in the area, the light will turn off after 30 seconds regardless; then repeat. You might want to use the Motion Sensor's OFF signal to trigger a macro to turn the light OFF and Clear Flag x after all motion has ended.

Expanding a bit on Puck's post -
The following accomplishes the same function without the use of flags. Instead, it monitors the state of your outside lamp.
The attached graphics will turn your light on if the following conditions are met
- Lamp C3 is off
- There's motion on D3
- The time is between dusk and dawn
In order for this to work you'll need to set your monitored house code to "C". This will allow your CM15a to track the ON/OFF status of the lamp.
Make sure you select "download macro to the interface".

See the second graphic - the flag test is available is you select "conditions" from the drop down list on the upper right of the screen. You want to use "flag status".

Sorry guys, I had to split this topic off of the original because it jumped in after the OP's post and took over and the OP's post was never noticed.

Please explain in a little more detail exactly when AHP locks up and any error messages, etc. that you receive when it does.
