I have a MS10A installed on a door frame.  When the door opens a macro turns on a light.  The macro works but there is a long delay between the signal being received and the macro triggering.  Anyone have any idea why the macro is taking so long to run???  I've attached the signal log.

MS10A - A1
L10 - Wall Switch

Please put a time frame to the "long" delay.

Are you using Active Home Pro with a CM15A or CM15K {CM19A with TM751}?
Do you have the On Alert plug in to process the DS10A messages or another device like a WGL module?
Do you know what sent the A1 RF Received message on line 469 of your attached file?

Post the macro!
It appears you have a door /window sensor attached to this door as well as the MS10a you shouldn't need both!
You can trigger the macro from a security sensor eliminating the MS10a

I've uploaded the Macro

[Tuicemen]

You have posted a macro that trips with a door window sensor not a MS10A from  A1.
I also don't know why you have 3 repeating on commands to L10 (only 1 should be needed)
If you have another macro triggering L10 from A1 which from your original post it appears, then this is the reason for the long delay.

Tuicemen,
This is the triggering macro.  I added the 3 repeats as the single command had the same delay problem.

[Tuicemen]

I realize it is the triggering macro.
You stated the MS10a had A1 assigned to it, this can't be done with out a macro.
There is no mention of A1 in your macro.
And in your OP the activity log shows an A1 on/off received.
As Brian stated

Do you know what sent the A1 RF Received message on line 469 of your attached file?

To me it looks like you have not emptied the AHP recycle bin and there is a old macro which sends A1 on then off

[Tuicemen]

Check the setting on the MS10a and be sure the slider switch is set to position 1

If it is in position 2 you could get long delays before your macro actually fires, although this doesn't appear to be the cause looking at your activity log.

I'm not clear on whether there are multiple RF devices monitoring the same door. If so, and both are transmitting, their RF signals could be colliding with each other, causing unpredictable delays/failures.
