Thanks Knightrider for pointing me in the right direction. Following the recommendations in this post, I first tried:
"Under the Tools tab,
Click on "Preferences" >> "Macro Options"
Check the little box that says "Issue 'On' in place of bright 100%"
This will do the trick most of the time and will stop the dissemination of bad information at the forum."
That had no affect for me. Next I tried:
"The "issue 'on' in place of '100% bright'" setting only affects macros. It doesn't affect timers.
It makes perfect sense that your wall switches aren't turning on. Mine don't either when sent a "100% Bright".
The workaround I use is to put my commands (typically an "on" followed by delay and a "dim") inside a macro and have a timer call the macro."
Perhaps I didn't set up the macros properly (I think I did), but that didn't work either. What finally worked was:
"Instead of a macro, you should be able to do the same thing with a "dummy" appliance module in AHP, with the same HouseCoude/UnitCode as the wall switch. Set the timers on the dummy module (for on/off), and that should work."
Bottom Line: Set the light modules as appliance modules in AHP and all works well. I can't dim them from AHP software but I can dim from the switch it self. Once the dimness level is established manually at the switch, it stays at that level every time which is what I want. Thanks again.
