Active home pro macros and timer
« on: January 28, 2011, 10:13:35 AM »

I'm a relative newbie to Active Home Pro and just getting into writing macros. I have several macros that are triggered by eagle eyes. When the eagle eye detects motion, it rings a chime and turns on lights.

Is there some type of timer that I could use with the macro so the chimes only ring during waking hours and the lights are only turned on after dusk?

Thanks for your help.

Use SmartMacro to make conditional macros. i.e "IF nighttime AND motion sensor...."

As dave w stated: you'll need the SmartMacro Plug-in in order to make any macros that have conditions in them which is what your looking to do.
In the macro designer above the text box will be a button "Uses Conditions" pressing it will allow you to add conditions.
