Smart Macro doesn't appear to work

[RJMiller]

Not running iWitness.  The transceived codes are A, B, C.  The monitored house code is C.

By the way... same macro WITHOUT any conditions works properly... even from a security item... for instance the following macro works quite well

Is there any way to remove a plugin?  That would be a test without OnAlert.  Course OnAlert runs the store's security system.

RJMiller: There is a post I think it is in the AHP general section (from the old forum) about removing plugins I can't remember if a easy way was mentioned
In the mean time here's something to try:

[li]Create a  Phantom (dummy) module say m1
[/li]
[li]Create a macro which turns "ON" M1 have your sensor trigger it
[/li]
[li]edit your problem macros to have the M1 "ON" trigger
[/li]
[/list]
I noticed one of my more complexted macros set to run this way and it runs with out any problems as long as the batteries are good in the sensor!
I've just converted it to use a security sensor without the use of a Phantom module so will see if I start to have the same problems.
If I start to have problems I'll add the Phantom trigger back!

Update:
WOW that didn't take long!
Scenario:
Started having problems right away!  ???So I reverted back to the Phantom module as the trigger!
But still had problems  but only with certain conditions  so I removed them and tried to and others some it wouldn't alow. so I tried to re add the ones I'd deleted NO GO Then I noticed run from Pc was checked. So I set it to store in interface and re added the conditions saved to the interface and every thing works. So far!
Findings:
Certain Macros Must be run from the interface!
In order to do this with Security modules you "MUST"  use Phantom modules!

Can you send an image of one of your phantom modules?  Not sure I understand what you are talking about.  Thanks.

The way to create a phantom module [/b] 
This is the way I do it:

[li]Create a room called Phantom or dummy modules
[/li]
[li]In this room create  Phantom modules. It's best if they are appliance modules as you don't want a all lights on triggering them
[/li]
[li]Give them addresses [/li]
[li]You can name they what ever you like but remember you don't actualy have these modules they do nothing except act as triggers
[/li]
[/list]
I have a room of these for which I can turn on/off my important flags it also alows me to see the status of my flags quickly, there are some others!
