Newbie: Upgraded to CM15A/AHP -NG; Using Just A Remote Worked Better.

[NodCom]

gee it was cool.. push a button and lights came on.. gee ill try the active home since its on sale. ...

... ... umm push button.. gee.. light goes on.. lets put in a MACRO... ok.. push button.

.... nothing happends... push button again.. one light came on.. nothing on the other.. what the hell is going on? active code is set correctly. push n1 to have macro b1 come on dim to 30 and have b2 come on 100%... well b2 does not come on.. b1 came on but 100%..(and yes i am using b1 as a lamp module and b2 as an appaliance module. is there a better program that i can be using? or any directing you can give.. thanx..

What were you using before AHP?

push n1 to have macro b1 come on dim to 30 and have b2 come on 100%...

Maybe more details are required here; from what you have stated, pushing n1 on a remote will not trigger macro b1.

Are you sure you have B1 and B2 setup correctly as the proper modules in AHP?  If B2 is an appliance module then it should either be an on or an off, not on at 100%.  When you say N1, do you mean number one on the remote? Keep in mind you shouldn't set a Macro and a Module to the same House/Unit Code and your remote has to be set to the correct housecode to trigger either your modules or macro's in AHP.   Or is your Macro set to N1 and the two modules set to B1 and B2?  Is the module you are trying to dim a dimmable lamp module?  More info need before we can help!

After creating the macro, did you click Tools > Download timers and macros ?

Sounds like you need a delay between your B1 dim and the B2 on!
Others here have found the need for delays in macros that contained dim commands!
I'm not sure if a delay was need at the beginning of the macro as well perhaps someone that had this issue will chime in!
In any case I'm sure an Advanced Search  for "dim delays" will turn up a post on it!
also you stated:

push n1 to have macro b1 come on dim to 30 and have b2 come on 100%... well b2 does not come on.. b1 came on but 100%..(and yes i am using b1 as a lamp module and b2 as an appliance module.

As hostilejava stated:

If B2 is an appliance module then it should either be an on or an off, not on at 100%

Check to be sure your switches are configured correctly in AHP if configured correctly you can't turn on an appliance module by a percentage
An improperly configured switch can mess up a lot of things!

What were you using before AHP?  ...Maybe more details are required here;

MANY more details! 

• WHICH RF Transceiver(s)?
  
  
• WHICH RF Remote(s)?
  
  
• WHICH Lamp Switches / Modules?
  
  
• WHICH Appliance Outlets / Modules?
  
  
• ANY Coupler?
  
  
• ANY Filter(s)?

Most likely just a typo...

.... nothing happends... push button again.. one light came on.. nothing on the other.. what the hell is going on?
