I programmed a macro to turn the PIP on the TV on when a motion was sensed at the front door. This macro switches the video input to display the camera at the door and switches the program I was watching to the PIP menu. It also triggers the remote chimes and turns the outside lights on. After a while of the chimes going ding dong for several times when someone visited, I came up with this idea. I started the macro with a command to disable the RF transceiver using an appliance module in line with it. The macro turns the RF transceiver back on after 10 minutes and sends a few on commands are sent throughout the day to insure the RF transceiver is in the proper mode (the on mode). It works great and no longer do the remote chimes drive we crazy. This could be incorporated into various situations where if the motion sensor is tripped several times, it caused problems.
