The delay feature doesn't calculate properly.
It calculates using the default 00:05:00
instead of what you want to put in.  You have
to add several delays in and delete to get
the proper time.  Currently the delay will
only set at 5 minutes.  You  have to manually
set it to anything else

Noah Swint: Do you mean a delay in a macro,
or a delay (offset) for a Dusk/Dawn timer?
I'm not seeing this here when I try it, so
any extra detail you can provide would be
helpful.

I'm using XP. The problem is with the delay
feature in the macro.  It calculates using
the default value saved in smart macro
instead of the value you enter in the field.
You have to add an addition delay in the
macro for calculation to update.  The total
feature at the bottom is off and the delay
time along the left side of the macro timing
is not properly updating.

For instance I'm doing a wakeup alarm with my
ceiling fan light and my nightstand lamp.
When I add my delay.  By default 00:05:00 is
selected by default.  I change the value to
00:01:00 and press enter.  The total at the
bottom and left still remain at 00:05:00.  I
add my modules and set a brighten value of
10%.  I then add an additional delay.  The
default value of 00:05:00 is there.  and the
time is now set 00:01:00 for the first delay,
00:05:00 for the second delay. and the total
time at the bottom is 00:06:00.

This is the easiest way for me to explain
without a screenshot.

He's talking about the total macro run time
that is displayed on the timeline just to
the left of the macro command sequence. I
noticed that there were problems with this
as well - and not just in the recent
release - never thought much of it at the
time.

Thanks for the clarification. I've added this
to our list. This problem is in the display
in the Macro Designer only, and when your
macros run the delays will be correct.

X10 Pro:  While you are at it, could you
include the time each command takes to run
to the total macro run time?  Thanks.
