Please log in for more thread options My computer is connected to the CM11A and the communications routines are running. But I when a macro I have downloaded into the CM11A goes off, I do not see anything in the communications log. I do, however, see the results of the macro being run. Is this expected behavior? Thanks. | ||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options As always, thanks for the response, Bruce. That was a good guess. But
alas, both the house code on the Tools menu and the Monitored Housed Code on the Config menu are both set to the same code as are the devices that are going on/off. I can see the activity when I turn the device on/off from inside Active Home or from a mini controller. So it seems odd that I do not see them when the CM11A generates them when running a macro.

Please log in for more thread options That does seem strange but the CM11a is a pretty limited device and I
haven't used one in years so I don't remember how it worked when I had one. David White wrote: > As always, thanks for the response, Bruce. That was a good guess. But

I think that is the essence of a macro. you load it in the CM11 device, and it takes care of it without further action of your PC. You load a number of timed actions in the little box, you switch off your PC and let the thing do what you asked it to do. Note that this is only my interpretation of what I read in the manual, I could very well be wrong as I just bought the thing and I am trying to get it working in Linux. -- MarcB | ||||||||||||||||
