Problems triggering macros and timers
« on: August 27, 2009, 11:53:28 AM »

I am having problems triggering macros and timers from Activehome Pro. 

When I send a triggering signal from a wireless remote control, e.g., A1, the macro button on the screen lights up but nothing happens.  The macro does not activate the desired light either on the screen or with the light itself.  The interface seems to detect the wireless signal, but ignores it.  The same is true if the signal is sent from a MS16A. 

If I click on the macro button on the screen, the macro appears to operate correctly and it activates the desired light, both on the screen and at the light. 

If I click on the desired light button, the actual light operates correctly. 

What could be going on?

When I set up a timer to activate the same light, the timer does not activate the desired light at the programed time.  I have double checked all of the settings in the timer. 

Please help.

I have no conditions in this macro.  It turns on the light, delays and then turns the light off.

OK, can you post the content of the macros/timers that are giving trouble?  I'm running 3.228 and have ZERO problems with timers or my single keypress macro, or any of the 13 .ahx files I have for the entire year.

Try clicking the "issue on instead of bright 100%" box in the tools tab.

I tried a lot of different things and somewhere along the way it got fixed.  it seems to be working now. 

I have a hunch that it was because I had two macros that were using the same trigger (A1 on). 

I changed the trigger on one of the macros.  Is that enough to keep the macros from working?
