Macro Repeat

[Squirrel1162]

Has anyone designed a macro that  will continually check another macro and then act according to the results.  I have a 3pin appliance module controlling a floor lamp.  The macro I have set up for it works good..to a point.  It comes on and goes off as scheduled.  But later, it will come back on when another module changes something.  (light on/off).  I probably need some sort of filter to prevent this situation.  But right now I can't afford one.  I'm wondering if anyone else has (had) this same situation, and how you corrected it?  Thanks for any and all help.

Macros only run till complete or 4.5 hours which ever comes first.
Creating looping macros are not advised as they can cause major system bottle necks and lock ups.
Also I believe you can't check a macro but you can check its trigger condition.

If your determined to create a looping macro you need to provide an out(exit, way to stop)
You also need to provide several delays so commands in queue can get sent.
StevenR provided a tutorial (write up) on looping macros http://forums.x10.com/index.php?topic=14912.0
