Room 'All Units On/Off' used in Macros = ALL ON/OFF?
« on: December 09, 2004, 05:59:32 PM »

Scenario: I use house code D for lights,
with modules defined in several rooms
(kitchen, garage, hall, etc.).  Was trying
to create a macro that would turn all 'D'
code units off, EXCEPT for the room 'hall'.
So, in the macro designer I dragged
the 'kithcen all lights on/ units off'
& 'garage all lights on/ units off', etc.
icons into the macro step area and set them
to all off. I did not include the 'hall all
lights on/ units off' icon since I wanted
them to remain on. However, when the macro
executes, all D-code units turn off,
including the hall.

It seems like a simple 'ALL D codes OFF'
gets generated, instead of the codes needed
to turn off the D code modules in the
designated rooms.

Is this the expected behavior?

The room on/off commands should go through
the modules in the room individually. They
shouldn't use the all on/off commands by
house code. If you send me the file you're
using, I'll double check, though.

Whoops!  You're absolutely correct. The
first step of my macro mistakenly did
an 'All Off' to the wrong house code. Thanks
for the quick reply.
