Trying to set up an 'off-delay-on' macro to send to a CM11 via programming with the heyu x10.sched file


Seems that in a macro in the format is:
MACRO | macro_name | delay | Function HU; Function HU; Function HU...etc

cant see a way to put a DELAY between the Function HU entries,  If I type a delay it fails with an error

How do I achieve a macro that has

Function HU; Delay Function HU;

at the moment I have 'got around it by filling the entry with false function HU entries.

Like below, I have used 'fake device'  on d6; off d6 string.  but surely there is a neater way.

Need about a 20-30 second delay between E1 off and E1 on...see the macro named cycle below

Not worked out how to trigger a script yet either ..any clues?
Edit:  think I found out, need heyu engine and connecting to the Pi to run the scripts


x10.sched

#Timer every day runs macro 'router_off' and one minute later 'router_on' macro

timer  smtwtfs    01/01-12/12 11:44 11:45   router_off  router_on



#Timer every day runs the SCENE 'cycle' as specified in x10conf

timer  smtwtfs    01/01-12/12 19:49 19:50 cycle nul

# The string of commands on d6;off d6 is merely to create a delay

macro  router_on  0  on e1


macro  router_off 0 off e1



# Hitting a3 on/off on a remote to activate macros router_on and router_off

trigger a3 off  router_off
