I set up my very first event today based on commands from a PR511 motion sensor. I set the PR511 address to A1 and set it to send an A2 ON command when motion is detected (I set a toggle to turn on device with address A2 so I assume it is sending an ON command). I want to play a wav file when motion is detected. First I created a virtual device with code A2 since there is no device with that address.
Then I create the event configured as follows:
On the trigger tab:
Type: By X10 event
Trigger if the given X10 housecode and unit code are received: A2 ON
Days: Every Day
On the device tab:
Selected devices: virtual device with code: A2 command: ON
On the app/sound/email tab:
Play sound .Wav file path: c:\MyWavs\intruder.wav
All other settings were left with default values.
When motion is detected and the lights turn on, the wav file does not play. Did I do something incorrectly or miss a setting? I would like to know if this is the right approach for setting up this event.
Or is it a weak signal or phase issue? I can turn the PR511 on and off from HomeSeer without a problem. Shouldn't that mean that I should be able to receive the A2 ON command or is the PR511 known for sending a weak signal? (I have a coupler/repeater on order due to another problem I described in another thread so if it is a signal issue, that may solve it).
Thanks in advance for any guidance.
