spam4us Nice diagram! True your suggestion/idea will work! ;) However i think PajamaGuy was looking for a software solution but your method maybe the the solution he needs! ;)
There are always ways to get around any obstacle; but the TRUTH remains that a Macro cannot be triggered by an ALL LIGHTS ON or ALL LIGHTS OFF signal.
And therre are always exceptions! ::)
Here is An interesting find Puck I'm sure you & many will find this info helpful! ;) :D ;D
I just tested and an all lights off signal as well as ALL ON from a security key flob (KR10A)
It will trigger a macro so AHP handles All Off\On codes from security devices differently!
I never tested an All ON/OFF from a SH624 as mine is at the cottage! perhaps you can test this and report your findings!
PajamaGuy to answer some more of your questions.
- No you will not need to create a macro for each sensor but you may need to create one for each device you want reset!
- You will need to create a[/color] phantom module (http://www.x10community.com/forums/index.php?topic=8807.msg53198#msg53198) so you won't need to write multiple large macros
- The phantom becomes the trigger for your reset macro in this macro you specify the modules you want reset based on conditions (flags,alarm status)
- You could possibly also use the same macro after a power outage to reset modules to there proper state!
- You may then create small macros which simply activate the phantom for each KR10A or SH624 Disarm!

Hey Tuicemen: Are you sure the signals from the KR10A are ALL Lights ON & ALL Lights OFF?
When I look at the PLC signal transceived through my DS7000, it is just a single address ON & OFF that matches the housecode & unitcode set on the DS7000; and the single lamp module that matches that address goes on & off and no other lamp modules on the same house code are affected.
When I look at it from an RF signal via OnALert, there is no X10 address that appears in the activity monitor, just the name of the device with "Security Light On" or "Security Light Off" appended.
So I'm not sure I'm following what you tried. Is your macro a standard X10 signal triggerable or an OnAlert triggerable?
