Dusk and Dawn not responding, timers OK
« on: December 13, 2004, 01:50:28 AM »

My CM15a running 3.173 never responds to
Dusk and/or Dawn settings. All modules and
macros operate flawlessly when triggered
manually as timed events through AHP or RF.
The same module or macro set to trigger at
Dusk and/or Dawn never responds. Activity
log shows nothing either for Dusk/Dawn
events but does for all others. My clock
and location are set and the situation
persists whether or not the CM15a is
connected to my PC. I have tried resetting
the unit and starting over with a newly
created .ahx file for even just one module,
to no avail. Strange thing is that if I set
the trigger time(s) to be the same as what
time dusk and/or dawn would be the modules
and macro respond and are logged.

Martin Mtl.: Can you send your ActiveHome Pro
data file to ahpsupport@x10.com so we can try
to reproduce the problem here?

Just to be sure, I tested some dusk and dawn
based timers here and they are working for
me. If you're still seeing the problem, send
me the data file and I should be able to tell
what's not working.

Dusk/Dawn still does not work on my system.
I have tried several combinations of
modules using Dusk/Dawn and they NEVER
work. The only time I saw the feature "try"
to function was with a single module
programmed in AHP; light went on 1 hour
later than set and never turned off. I then
added a second module programmed with Dusk
on Dawn off and neither module responded.
Again, when I set all 9 modules to now turn
on and off at specific times, they all work
fine. I sent the requested data file
December 13, did it run properly for you?

X10Support: I'm trying to figure out why my
Dusk/Dawn never works on any of all my 9
modules, please try this; set one or more
modules to turn on using Dusk, save and
exit, reset PC clock to be before
module "Dusk on" time and restart AHP,
download timers and wait for "Dusk" to
pass. Does your module turn on? Mine NEVER
does! However if I do the exact same thing
but instead of using Dusk I manually enter
the on time it ALWAYS turns on on time. Can
you please help.
