How Do I Perform Several Actions at Once?
PowerTouch uses sophisticated processing to make it easy for
you to perform several actions at once using the Macro menu.
Once you create the macros, specifying which devices should
receive which commands at what interval, a single touch can
lower curtains, dim lights, and turn on and start devices.
There are a number of macros automatically associated with
each device. These macros will appear on the “More” screen for
the device. Although you can assign any set of actions to a
macro, the macro’s association will not change. Each device
input supports up to 6 macros.
These macros enable you to group multiple actions onto a single
button. For example:
• You could create a macro to access a specific TV station—like
setting a button on the radio in your car. You would most
likely choose a macro associated with your TV, or one with
the jack set to which you connected your cable or satellite
receiver. You would then define a macro that entered the
channel number for that station.
• You could create a macro to change video input and start a
tape in your VCR. You would most likely choose a macro
associated with your TV or with the video jack to which you
connected your VCR. You would then define a macro that:
• changes the TV station to channel 3
• turns on the VCR
• delays 1 second to allow the VCR to power up
• switchs the TV input to VCR
• starts the tape playing
