Motion and Chime
« on: March 06, 2005, 11:40:15 AM »

I have a Motion Sendor (M2) that Triggers a
Macro (M2) which actives a CHIME A13 and
then delays for 2 minutes.  Problem is as
long as there is motion the chime keeps
chiming.  I only want the chime to chime
once every minute while motion is sensed.

I have played around with a number of
combinations and nothing works.

Any suggestions and help appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Brian

If you have Smart Macros plugin - possibly
this will help (I haven't used it - but
people on this site have).

The macro will execute from the beginning
again each time it is called.  I do
something similar to you (except with a 10
minute delay).  I set flag 1 and use a
conditional macro to only execute the macro
if the flag is cleared.  You need to use
two macros to accomplish this though so
that the original macro with the 10 minute
delay and clear the flag at the end.

Simple Chime Fix:
make a (phatom)switch in ahp ON MONITORED
house code.  If h15 is on and flag 2 is off
set flag 2 play chime wait 5 minutes clear
flag 2 else if h15 is off flash lamp
