I'm trying to implement a motion sensor + chime notification set of macros. The desired outcome would be to have lights turn on when motion is detected and stay on until 10 minutes after motion is not detected. Also, I'd like to trigger a chime every 2 minutes if motion is detected (rather than chiming every time motion is detected, which would be obnoxious). I know I could make things work if I used the same timer for both (compromising at 5 minutes for both for instance), but I was hoping there was another way. If I trigger 2 macros with different delays, can AHP/CM15A run both macros at once, or are they run in serial?
In other words:
Macro1:
Trigger - A1 ON
Action:
B1 On (dummy module)
delay 2 second
B1 Off
Macro2:
Trigger - A2 ON
Action:
B2 On (dummy module)
delay 10 second
B2 Off
If I fire Macro1 or Macro2 on their own, things work as expected. The dummy module turns on, delays for xx second, turns off dummy module. If I run Macro2 then Macro1, B2 turns on, B1 turns on, 10 second delay, B2 turns off, 2 second delay (I think), B1 turns off. I have not run this from the CM15A, just the PC. I'm sure the answer is known and posted, but I haven't found a thread with the answer in it. Any work arounds?
