I have two socket rockets on a motion censer. And a marco when activated from motion censer should stay on for 10 min. But it rarly does i have too adjust the time too 2 hours then it stays on for a few min. Also set up timers to wake us up. It worked one day. But not now? I thought it might have something to do with daylight savings.

I have all the plugins. Sorry guys im typing this on iphone.

To start with, are the motion sensors set to a different address than the socket rockets?

astrothug

yes and the motion censer works with the socket rockets. b1 for both....thanks Puck.

If you are using macros for control, you should not have the socket rockets set to the same address as the motion sensor. I suspect the off delay signal from the motion sensor is what is shutting off your socket rockets earlier than you want.

I haven't had much luck with Socket Rockets myself.

Tried one on the Porch with a Motion Sensor.. Sometimes it worked and most of the time it didn't.

Then I installed Wall Switch and a MS16A.....  >! Works like a charm EVERYTIME now!

Really Ok so then B1 = socket rockets B2 = Motion Sensor then how do I get the Sensor to talk to the Socket rocket...OHH I name the Marco B2 got it...thanks Puck....


Ok that worked.
