9 Macros 

Macros allow a sequence of actions to take place when triggered by an Event or Map.  The 
Bridge can store up to 60 Macros each of which can have a maximum of 32 Steps. 
 
The Bridge Macro screen is located from the tab in the Bridge device editor. 

 

There are 3 steps in this example Macro: 

-

Room 9, All Channels, Scene 2 

-

Room 17, All Channels Scene 1 

-

Room 49, All Channels Scene 2 

 
With this simply Macro the Bridge will just run through the three commands listed. More 
complex functionality can be achieved by using commands in the tables outlined below.  

Writing Macros  

Macro steps can be one of 4 types: 
 

Action 

Pause 

Delay  

Goto 

Can be a simple 
command including 
Scenes, Fades etc. 
Can also include 
“Macro Control”, 
“Mapping Control” for 
more complex 
programming.  

A running Macro will 
stop at a Pause and 
remain there until it 
hears a Continue.  

The Macro can wait at 
this step for a defined 
period of time. Useful 
when programming 
PIR timeouts etc.  

The Macro can be 
sent to a defined step 
in this or another 
Macro.
