Marco won't turn Christmas Lights ON

[bmachia]

Hi All,
I've got a strange problem with a MACRO I use to turn the outside Christmas lights on and off.  I have a LM465 in the basement.  An extension cord runs outside from this point.

The MACRO will not turn on these lights.  It WILL turn off on schedule, and I can manually turn the lights on through Activehome Pro. 

I've deleted and recreated the MACRO several times.      Same results,
The MACRO uses Dusk -10 minutes, so not to interferr with any other MACRO in the house.   I even tried a specific time instead of Dusk.  Same results (Not On)

Someone, Anyone - Please tell me how a MACRO can turn off and I can Manually turn lights on.  But not ON using the MACRO.

Hoping to hear from someone..

The first thing to check is to make sure you have "issue on in place of bright 100%" selected.

It is found under tools / preferences... macro options

OK, Thanks Puck.  That box was not checked.

I checked it and tested, still no on.

After you checked the box, did you download to the interface?

[bmachia]

Yes,
And, I forgot to mention I have other MACRO's that run perfect.  Just this new Christmas Light MACRO is giving me problems.

OK, I kept playing with it and got it to go.

I deleted the MACRO, I deleted the Module LM465

Save the parameters and downloaded to the CM-15A.

Shutdown the PC and Restarted.  When everything was up, I recreated the Module, MACRO, Saved, and downloaded to the CM15A.

It works now.

What was wrong, I still do not know.  But, this worked for me.
