Hi guys,

I am still working on getting my x10 system working again here. Slowly getting there. It appears my CM11a has died, so until it is replaced I am using a CM17a (Firecracker) to limp along. I also have a wall outlet that is studdering when turning on our Christmas lights. So to get by for now, I would like to send more then one ON command to this device. Generally it takes 3-4 hits of the ON button of a remote before lights come on and stay on. Is there a way to do this? I've tried a couple attempts but always got syntax errors, and searching the forum didn't give me results either.
It's simple what I am doing in this case. I use a motion detector (day/night sensor only) to trigger a macro when it gets dark. I just need that macro to send the ON command several times in a row to ensure the lights come on until I replace that module.

Thanks,
    Brian

Post your macro, I am sure someone can correct the syntax error.
