Macro Bug Found

I found a bug in AHP when macros are triggered by remote. In a previous topic (Receive RF Problem) I noticed multiple RF receive commands from time to time in the activity monitor. But even when I received on 1 RF command, the macro would not operate correctly. Yet when running it in AHP its good.

So what I noticed is when a macro is called by a remote command, it use the Bright command even though I have "Use ON instead of Bright" in the macro preferences. Here's my macro:

A3 ON
Set flags 1,3
A12,A13 OFF
Delay 1-sec
A12,A13 Set absolute 50%
Delay 1-sec
A11,A14,A16 OFF
Delay 1-sec
A11,A14,A16 Set absolute 60%
Delay 1-sec
A6 OFF
Delay 1-sec
A6 Set absolute 64%

Activity Monitor (macro run in AHP):
Transmit A12
Transmit A13
Transmit A Off
Transmit A On
Transmit A Dim 50
Transmit A12
Transmit A13
(and so on)

Activity Monitor (macro run from A3 On on remote):
Receive RF A3 On
Macro A12
Macro A13
Macro A off
Macro A12
Macro A13
Macro A Bright 100
Macro A Dim 50
(and so on)

Why would a macro called by remote not send ON instead of Bright commands?

Just did a test... I see that too. The remote says Bright 100%, manually pressing the Macro shows ON.

Interesting feature.  ::)

Feature? I think not. Screws up all my macros! I hope someone can get this bug fixed.

I'm surprised your macro doesn't work with the remote. I only did a test on one lamp, so maybe with multiple lamps (like you are doing) it will react differently.

Maybe try longer delays after the dim commands.  ???

I'm sure one of the CO's will move this post to the Software Problems & Bugs section. ;)

It would work perfectly if only the ON vs. Bright command was sent from the CM15A. You would think setting this preference in AHP would carry over
to the CM15A. Anyone know a workaround?
