Multiple Macro Trigger
« on: August 28, 2005, 06:39:07 PM »

I have seen many references to how AHP
handles multiple macro triggers, for
example a motion detector that sends
multiple ON commands to a macro in a short
time period. Many people have said that
this will start multiple instances of the
macro. I have found this to be true when I
start the macro manually in AHP software.

However, when I issue multiple RF commands
to start the macro, it seems to reset the
macro each time. Let's say I had a simple
macro to turn on a light 1 minute after the
macro started with A9 as the trigger. If I
sent multiple A9 ON commands over 30
seconds, the light would turn on 1 minute
after the last A9 ON.

Is this different from what other people
have experienced?
Is this

This is the way it works.
To stop this you need to add a flag set and
clear to the macro plus a condition to look
and see if the flag is set or not.
EG.
if flag 2 is off
set flag 2
turn on light
wait 10 min
turn of light
clear flag 2

How do you set the "If Flag Is Off" condition?
