I just begin with x10 and i'm not a programmer. Is it possible to program a remote chime (SC546A) to chime only once with a "pause" of one minute for example?  Motion sensor is EagleEye MS14A, transceiver is TM751 and appliance module AM14A-C to control a lamp. All works fine, but... wants better!  And more:It seems that's easier to program a macro than adjusting the time output of the MS14A in a ladder!

Which program are you trying to use macros with?
The chance of of doing what you wish are good but we need to know what program your using or thinking of using!

Hmm... I wonder if X-10 has fixed the bug in the SC546A ?   The one I (and a few others) have is incompatible with the AM14A.  Any two extended codes within about 1.5 seconds on the same housecode as the chime will turn it into an ear-splitting siren that has to be unplugged to shut it off.

If you have ActiveHome Pro, try clicking the "Poll" button on the AM14A icon a couple of times in succession and see what happens.

Program I use is "Active Home Professional" and the poll button of the AM14A changes the chime in a siren to be unplugged to stop. Chances to program for one chime are not good...   Thanks!

If you have a SH10A Mini PowerHorn, you can get a single ding from it: Re: X10 system and Mini Powerhorn

I never tried the dim / brighten on a Remote Chime(?)

With smart macros you can add chimes how ever many times and with any delays you wish,how ever the macro can't exceed 4.5 hours in length
If you wish to add flags read some of the many threads on them to fully understand how and why!
