I seem to be having a problem with one particular lamp in macro setting,only turns on 1 out of 10 times or so.

This is the set up
2 sets of lights using module WS12A (these work fine every time)
and one module LM465 (this is the problem module)

I can trigger LM465 on its own, and works every time but does not like being in the macro.

Anyone have any ideas to resolve this ??

Thanks

Can you send us how you have the macro written? And conditionals used in the macro? Hows the macro triggered?

Trigger M9 on

Acitvate M12 40% WS12A
Activate M13 50% LM465 problem module
Activate M11 40% WS12A

Trigger M10 turns M11,M12,M13 off

I would first try adding a time delay between the dim commands. 1 to 2 seconds should do it. There have been some other posts that talk about adding time delays after a dim command. I have some macros that have to have time delays as much as 3 to 5 seconds to allow time for other commands from other units to complete.

Another thing you can try is switch around the order. Put the LM465 first to see if it works that way. May not be the order you want but for testing it would be ok.

Tried 10 second delays on each module and changing the order of triggering the modules, both with no success.

Also tried changing the lamp module to an appliance module ,also with no success.

Are you downloading the program to the CM15A memory or running from the PC?  (And if the former, have you run Tools>Download timers and macros?)

Try moving the LM465 to two or three different receptacles in different rooms in your house and see if it works any better in any of those locations.  If so, there could be either a phase or "signal sucker" issue.
