I am running V2 and just created a new macro that would trigger when a motion sensor turned on. The macro turn a light on and then wait a few minutes and turn it off. Nothing I did would get the light to turn on. The logs even showed a message sent to turn it on and ACKed that it was on. If I manually turned the light on while the macro was waiting... after waiting the macro WOULD turn it off. I did using INSTEON - ON and using FORMULA - ph_insteon("NAME", ion ,255). Neither would work no matter what I did.

I finally added the ph_insteon("NAME", ion ,255) to an action in the trigger and then made another trigger to turn on the wait macro with the command to turn off after a certain amount of time... this works. But I am baffled why the command would not work within the macro.

Seeing an ACK to what I assume is a Group ON sequence means the device received the command. Sounds like either the Ramp rate is very slow or the Bright level is very low, or both, in the responder link record. The link record display shows those values.
