what is the dummy module house and unit code and what is the camera house and unit code

Kramer Chins · January 25, 2009, 12:09:42 AM

Dummy Module is A16... Camera is C6... Sensor is A6

Kramer Chins · January 25, 2009, 12:13:20 AM

I think I might have it....................

Kramer Chins · January 25, 2009, 12:16:53 AM

>! Beers to you guys !!!!!!!!!

) I'm the horse and the smilie is AHP..........

I take it there is nothing else using A16 that could make it shut off? or maybe you have the timer set up wrong?
you could try not using a timer right now and just manual turn it on to see if it shuts of after the macro.

Try a different unit code to see if that helps.

Jsnlong · January 25, 2009, 12:33:33 AM

You Got it .............Great

WHat did you find the reason was for the module turning off?

Kramer Chins · January 25, 2009, 12:37:28 AM

I had the module set to "OFF" when the macro started.....

One more question...... When I set the conditions up I had to pick A16 because no other House Codes showed up, so I couldn't use "D"

How do I fix that?

Jsnlong · January 25, 2009, 12:45:26 AM

You have to set the Monitored House Code to D....................

Monitored House Code = The ActiveHome Pro interface keeps track of the status of the modules on the Monitored House Code, and reports this data to the computer when it is connected or reconnected. Choose which House Code you want to monitor in Tools-Hardware Configuration. This is the house code designated for use as a module condition for the Smart Macros plugin. If you build a conditional macro

Go to "tool" menu in AHP and then click "hardware configuration" then in the lower right hand corner on the box that pops up it will say
"Monitored House Code" just pick the house code you want to monitor

Kramer Chins · January 25, 2009, 12:50:43 AM

Ok.. So if I'm understanding right you can only pick one house code to monitor?

Because I tried to enter code "D" and it told me I have more items using "A" then I do "D".....

Kramer Chins · January 25, 2009, 12:56:09 AM

I can't thank everyone enough for your help tonight !!!!!!

I think I have a little better understanding of AHP (emphasise Little)....

Next I will try to learn "Flags"

Thanks Again !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes only one.

It only pops up and said that cause you are using more A modules then any others. but still OK to switch it to D just have to remember that D is set to be Monitored. I use D house code for my Dummy modules. Kinda going of the kindergartener theme D is for dummy

Come back to the chat room sometime.. might be alittle faster with one on one talking instead of posting and waiting for a reply..... but either way its working

Goo luck and enjoy your new addiction

Kramer Chins · January 25, 2009, 01:05:10 AM

Thanks !!!!

My wife is not real thrilled with it...... ( Already looking to expand and get The Home Security Package plus more goodies for AHP)

Jsnlong · January 25, 2009, 01:10:43 AM

My wife don't like it to much either.....she thinks its just a hobby that cost alt lol but you have to look for some things to automate that makes her life easy then she will be on-broad

Excellent Job Jsnlong!

WAF (Wife Approval Factor) is a very important part of most of our setups. As a hobby goes.. X10 isn't all that expensive.. so I sometimes claim X10 to be my Home Automation Hobby. In reality Home Automation is a lifestyle... at least for me. My wife has found several parts of the automation setup she really enjoys. Making sure the wife gets what she wants from the automation is key to high WAF.
