basic macro
« on: September 02, 2009, 09:07:01 PM »

I have an XPFM module "A3". I wrote a macro with "A3" as the trigger. I turn the module on, delay 1 minute and then turn the module off. If I use the remote and turn A3 on, the module turns on, I see the run macro light flash a few times, but it does not turn module off after 1 minute. If I use my mouse and click on run module, it will flash a few times, and then turn the module off after 1 minute. What am I missing?

thanks,

Generally it's a good idea to give your macro and your module different X10 addresses. What you are doing with both set to A3 is OK, you just won't have the option of controlling the module without that macro always running. But I would remove the A3 ON from the macro because this could cause an infinite loop.

As far as the macro only working when you execute it with your mouse, it sounds like there may be a condition within the macro that is preventing the remote from executing it. Mouse execution ignores conditions.
