Macro based on electrical load condition
« on: April 05, 2010, 01:24:21 AM »

Wondering if it is possible to trigger a macro based on power load condition i.e. a switch-off command is applied if air-conditioner's compressor is not running and command is delayed if compressor is running until it turns off by internal thermostat. Appreciate any ideas.

To perform conditional logic you need CM15A, AHP, with Smart macros. The PowerFlash Module could be used as the input interface to sense compressor running through the 24V line from thermostat and a Universal module would be the output to control compressor through the thermostat line.
