All Lights ON / All Units OFF
« on: May 04, 2008, 05:24:33 PM »

In AHP how do you send All Lights ON & All Units OFF commands?

In a room there is the option on the right for this, but when it is issued it shows each device being addressed and then an ON or OFF for that house code. So according to the activity monitor it does not actually send All Lights ON & All Units OFF commands.

I am playing around with trying to trigger my Power Horns via a macro, so are there actual commands for All Lights ON / All Units OFF or do I need to use the Extended Code function? If using the Extended Code function what should be the Command Byte & Data Byte for each?

Puck; If the All Lights On All Units off [All Lights Off also works] doesn't have an easy answer.
Both the PH508 and SH10A can also be triggered by the House/Unit Code the dials are set to. With a 1 second cycle of on-offs.
On my older SH10As I also found a quirk. If you send a stream of ON signals to the address set it goes into a steady locked ON screaming mode for 4 minutes if my timing was correct. A steady stream of off seems to stop it.

Thanks Brian.

And thanks to Knightrider who reminded me there are house code commands in the lower right window pane in AHP. I didn't think of scrolling down.  ::)

OK Sounds like you are on the path to do what you needed to do.

Sounds like that could be an useful feature (quirk). I tried it on mine and it didn't work, but mine are not very old. Would be nice because as it is now the siren only sounds for 3 seconds after the triggering stops.

It didn't work with my 6 in one remote just mashing the button on my Palm Pad HR12A.
