macro activating a light switch but the light doesnt turn on

[donutlou]

subject line says it all, i have a macro that activates a light and on the computer screen the switch flips but the actual light does not turn on, or off... anyone run into this problem???
thanks

My first guess would be a signal integrity issue between the CM15A and the light switch.

You can verify this by turning the switch on & off manually with your mouse in AHP. If it works, then noise or signal loss shouldn't be the problem. If it doesn't then the signal is degraded by the time it reaches the switch.

it turns on and off with the mouse.

What is the trigger for the macro?
Does the macro work if you click on it with the mouse?
Can you post a pic of the macro?

i use the big red button a12 to run a macro that turns on my bedroom lights if the bedroom module is off and turns off the lights if the bedroom module is on. really simple. it does work if i click on the macro with the mouse and it does flip the switch when i hit the button (remote) but the button even though it flips the switch on the screen it doesnt actually turn on the lights in my room. i have also been having an issue with very slow running macros that i tried solving with the forum before but to no avail. maybe computer problems?  how do i put pictures on here?

As for macros running slowly do you have any other transceivers in your setup besides the CM15A? This may also be causing the problem with your light macro!

yeah i do, i have the cm15a only to transcieve the house codes that are not being used by the plug in transcievers though. do you think that could be the problem?  i would like to re-install the entire program, are there any posts that cover un-installing and re-installing from soup to nuts. without losing all my macros, of course
