Macro
« on: February 19, 2006, 07:43:31 AM »

I have setup a macro that when I turn on my
kitchen light in 10 min. the livingroom light
will come on, I have the kitchen light on a
timer yet the macro only works when I turn it
on manually.

After creating the macro and timer, did you
download to the interface, i.e.,
Tools > Download timers and macros

Yesterday it worked.
Today it doesn't work.
X10 on Windows is like that.

You are setting up a timer for your kitchen light to come on at a specific time and you want your living room to come on 10min later?  ???

I think your kitchen light would need to transmit back (2way) to trigger a macro the way you suggest.
It would be better to create a macro with a specific time ON, add the first module "kitchen" and delay 10min and turn on the "livingroom" module, then turn off later.
Or simpler, set a timer for each module separately without a macro.
I have mine setup separately to... Kitchen on 30min before dusk, living room on 15min before dusk, both off at 1:30am
