Smart Macros – Module Status condition not working

[martin]

I played again with some of my macros last
night and the “Module Status” condition
just doesn’t work. I created a workaround
using flags but had to create two new
macros that clear / set flags at the same
time as the module that I want to track
status turns On /Off.
Also, in the “Module Status” window (that
gives by default selectable check boxes 1
to 16 for your monitored House Code), only
the names of assigned Macros are appearing,
not the name of a given module.

Has someone been successful using
the “Module Status” condition?

You Can only use modules which are on the
monitored house code in your conditions.
Thats why it only shows 1-16. If you want to
use module status of A3 and your monitored
house code is B it won't work!

Thanks Tuicemen,

Yes I know and the selection window is
giving you the list of modules for you
Monitored House Code by default so you can't
really make a mistake (unless you change
your Monitored House Code afterwards).
But it just doesn't work for me, were you
able to use this condition?

[Tuicemen]

Yes & No in the current version of AHP I can!
I prefure to use flags as I can control them!
if someone manually turns off a module and
the macro runs I think AHP screwed up (I
don't have any 2 way modules)

Upgraded to 3.186 and tried the Module
Status condition - Yes!!! Succes !! It's
working !!! The selection window is now
displaying the right information for
module's name and omitting assigned macros
names - the way it should be!

The only trick was to put the Module Status
condition first and then the period of
time. That trick didn't work on the
previous version.
