I hear what you are saying and I think I
know exactly what you are trying to do. I am
using the AHP software out of the box, and
am not at all successful at this either. I
am trying to accomplish the exact same thing
that you are trying. After reading some of
these posts, I have figured out that if you
buy a $49 plugin from X-10, you will have
the ability to program conditional macros.
IE... If it is between 6:00pm and 10:00pm
and motion is sensed, then turn on the light
for 10 minutes. If it is not between 6:00pn
and 10:00 pm then don't turn on the light at
all, regardless of motion sensing or not.
Here is what I am going to do. When I was
way younger, I was pretty good with basic. I
have found a book at Barnes and Noble
called "Learn Visual Basic in 24 hours". It
even comes with a limited version of the
visual basic program (you can also hit shift
F11 when in Microsoft word to start VB).
This way I will just write my own programs
and not be forced by X10 to pay extra for
products that should have come with the
package anyway.
