How do you set up AHP to e-mail you when events happen??
« on: June 02, 2009, 03:30:01 PM »
I tried and set up a Macro to send an e-mail when a certain macro was triggered and it seems that it doesn't work.  Can anyone help?

The Macro must include an "Advanced Function" that will send an email notification to a specific address.

"Advanced Functions" can be found when setting up your Macro.  Select "Email Notification."  And then edit the function. 

Obviously your PC has to be running (also your email provider) to be able to receive the notification.

Can you provide a little more information about your setup?  Have you looked at the Activity Monitor to see if the Macro is triggered.  Try setting a flag, in your Macro, right after the Email Notification just to see if that function is "executed."   Then look at the Status Report for the status of the flag.

But try to give us a little more information about your setup.

May be seem too obvious, but do you have the corresponding plug-ins installed for this feature to work? You need "MyHouse Online" to be able to send emails. This plug-in accesses the X10 email gateway, which is where your email initiates.

If you don't have this plug-in, AHP gives you no warning or any indication that you need it for the feature to work. It simply does nothing.
