Status Messages for Impatient Clients with Long Macros
For clients who have problems waiting for long macros to finish, it is helpful to
design the system to give a dramatic status message while the macro is working,
otherwise they may put the remote down in the middle of the macro, frustrating
themselves. This is possible for a system with UP TO 10 DEVICES. Here’s how
to do it:
1
1 Move all of the devices with their IR programming to MAIN Page 2. Just drag and drop them using Create
and Move Devices (Program Menu #1).
2
2 Now, create new devices on MAIN Page 1. Duplicate the exact order of MAIN Page 2.
3
3 Use LCD Button Editor to label page 1 of each of the first ten devices (the ones on MAIN Page 1 without
IR codes) with a message that will be visible as long as the macro is working:

This is the kind of status message you can have the remote
display WHILE a macro is being issued!
