Looking for a little help.
I set up PH such that a press of one SL will turn on a second SL. I created a PLC group, set the PLC as a responder to SL #1, and set the PLC as a controller of SL #2. This works.
Next step: I'd like to vary the light level of SL #2 depending on time of day. I set up a macro containing an if-then-else to check the time and set the level, and it works when the macro is manually executed.
I can't figure out how to get SL #1 to do it... no matter what, it comes on to the level set for the PLC group.
What am I missing?
Thanks...

If you use SL #1 as a trigger to the macro then wouldn't you have to remove the PLC as a responder for SL #1? Otherwise it seems that a press from SL #1 would set SL #2 via both the Macro and the PLC group directly which would force SL #2 to the level defined in the PLC group link.

Mike:
Thanks... I think that does it. I thought I had tried that, but obviously wasn't doing everything right.
Now on to bigger and better macro controls...
