triggering a macro from another address
« on: December 06, 2011, 03:50:57 PM »

IN active home professional if I have a macro M1 and I want to use a wireless controller on hose code j (which also controls some individual modules). I want to use the wireless controller to send a J8 code to trigger the M1 macro. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Or what are some ways to do this?

AHP with a CM15A or the CM15K {TM751 transceiver with CM19A interface}?

The simplest way to do it is to create a "J8 On" macro, that triggers the "M1 On" macro.
In order to do that, create a "dummy" appliance module on M1, and call THAT from the macro.
A "dummy" module is simply one that you create in AHP, but doesn't correspond to a "Real" one you have installed somewhere in your home.

Ok I’m confused so I create a J8 on macro……is J8 the trigger? And I create a dummy module the resides in the M1 macro? How do I call up that dummy module? Sorry used x10 before but new to the AHP

No.
Create a dummy M1 appliance module.
Then, create a "J8 On" macro ("J8 On" is the trigger), and have it turn the M1 appliance module on.

That's how you call one macro from another.
