Will this work?

Since the Daytime & Nighttime conditions have issues :) is this the way around it?

Set up a dummy module (G1)
Have the timers turn it on and off at Dusk & Dawn (this timer works)
Use the module on/off state to determine nighttime & daytime in macros.

This part I'm not sure of:
Have a macro (P1) trigger on (G1) turning on and off to execute things like set lights on dim at Dusk and turn them off at Dawn
In other words will the timer turning on/off (G1) trigger macro (P1)?

Thanks!

What issues are you refering to?  Is this different than sunrise/sunset?  I've been using those in macros ever since AHP came out with no problem.  Could we have a little more detail please.

If I have a macro that triggers on a sensor turning off.
It's supposed to turn off a light if it's daytime or dim it if it's nighttime.
It seems to never take the branch.

Is it the daylinght sensing function in a motion detector, a burglar alarm sensor or something else and if so, what?

Motion detector.
It turns on the light just fine.
Thanks

Noam

In order for this to work, the dummy module (G1 in your example), must be on the Monitored Housecode. If not, then the CM15A doesn't keep track of its status.
