Smart Macro
« on: December 28, 2004, 02:49:25 AM »

Smart MAcros look to have the added
functioanlity that I am looking for and I
have now paid for.

I have installed X10 Pro and the Smart
Macros plug-in. Is there a user manual or a
help file for the Smart Macros. The
developer may think it is obvious how it
works. Smart Macros like other programs
needs documentationand a help file with
samples. If anyone has found these, please
let me know.

Thanks,
Bruce

The only problem with the examples given
here:
http://www.activehomepro.com/plugins/plugin-
smartmacros_adv.html

Is that currently any times crossing
midnight don't work with ActiveHome Pro.
Does anyone know when we can expect a fix
so the program works as advertised?

Harry,

It's well known problem.
They haven't fix it but you can make two
macros : a macro for event before midnight
and another for event after midnight ...

I am doing that with a number of my macros.
I have only been using X10 for about a
month and think it will be terrific when it
is all working properly. I stumbled onto
the cross midnight thing before I found it
discussed on some of the posts at the
accessx10.com forums. I spent a weekend
before I finally got my macros working. Now
knowing the problems I can work around some
of them. It seems that if this was a know
problem that my shipment should have came
with a disclaimer explaining what the
current issues were to save a lot of hassle
for the new customer.

AHP is not alone in this limitation.  My
Smarthome Plus software also can't cross
midnight with macros (but it's properly
indicated as a limitation in their
software), so I just make two macros.
