Triggering Macros  

Macros can be triggered in several ways. Most commonly:  

-

Wired device direct Map (WCM/WAVFR/etc.) 

-

Bridge Mapping 

-

Bridge Event  
 

Once a macro trigger is sent it will perform one of four different functions to a Macro: 
 

Start  

Stop  

Pause  

Continue  

This will cause the 
Macro to start from the 
beginning (Step 1) 
regardless of its 
current position in the 
Macro. 

This will cause a 
Macro that is already 
running to Stop 
running and return to 
Step 1.  

This will cause a 
Macro to Pause at 
whatever step it is 
currently running. 

This will cause the 
Macro to continue 
from a Pause state, 
performing the step 
immediately after this 
and proceeded.  

 
NB 

It is also possible to “Enable” and “Disable” Macros (or parts of Macros) via the “Macro Control” 
Action. 

 

10 Holiday Mode 

Holiday mode allows the Bridge to record normal lighting activity in a property over a period 
of time. This can then be replayed whilst the property is empty in order to give a realistic 
impression that it is occupied.  
 
Holiday mode has three states:  
 

-

Record

: Used to create a log of the used of the system. 

-

Playback

: Used when the house is unoccupied to replay the information gathered in 

“Record”.  

-

Idle

: Used when the system is in normal occupied operation and no recording is 

being made. 

 
Holiday mode is most easily controlled from the App. However it is also possible to change 
the holiday mode state from a keypad map, Bridge map and by pressing buttons directly on 
the Bridge.  
 

NB 

For how to control Holiday mode via the App. see “

App user Guide
