Title: Lamp module switches on, but does not go off (but app shows it off)
Post by: paul k on April 22, 2005, 01:01:20 AM

I have a macro which turns on a lamp. It goes
on fine. I then have it turn it off after a
certain period. The picture of the lamp shows
it off, but the lamp does not go off. If I
click on it (twice), it will go off. So, the
message is able to get through, but something
about the macro does not really work.

What kind of module is the lamp connected to?
What kind of module is it defined as in
ActiveHome Pro? What are the steps in the macro?

The problem was intereference I think. I
moved the Active Home Pro to another plug
(which makes it inconvienent for the USB) and
it all works fine now. It is strange that the
ON worked flawlessly, but the off was not
working reliably.

I am still having problems with th RF though.
I used this for an outside link (which is
likely on the other phase). The model is not
described anywhere other than a hint in FAQs.
I used an ON trigger to send an ON command to
the unit. I used an OFF trigger to send an
OFF command to the unit. But, it does not
seem to work. Could be RF interference (I
have WiFi and Cordless phones), but since not
documented, I am not sure if I am using it
correctly.
