i use a macro that set flag 11 at dusk and clears it at dawn for a night time condition. that way it only requires 1 entry.
first macro looks for flag 11  on and checks that the lights are off.  ( turn on light @ 50%)
else looks for flag 11 on and checks that the lights are on  ( light to 100% ,wait 2 minutes , lights to 50% )
that seems to work for me. ( the night time condition can't be used because it also requires 2 time entry's )
note: i'm not sure what the system uses flags for but i do know that 1,15 keep showing up set so don't use 1 or 15 , flag 11 seems to be safe so far)   good luck jerry

You should stay away from flag 16 for the same reason.

Hello Puck,


Macro with Flag Control

Where can I find this usefull condition ? I didn't find a condition where I can put a :

IF THIS IS TRUE => If these flags are Off !

I have smartmacro enabled and I have only conditions about time, when a certain module is on, but nothing about flags ! ??? ???  Am I lost somewhere ?

Thank you for your reply.

[Updated] : silly gilbert ! I found that I disabled the smart macro wizard and kept only the simple interface with conditions only... Sorry and thanks for the help  ;D

Thanks for posting an update. I was not aware that conditions disappeared with the simple interface selection of smart macro preferences. They should have called it "Smart Macros On & OFF" instead.  ::)
