I have a macro set to the on command when I am in the main page. How can I punch this macro through to the other commands so that whenever I press on, regardless of the device I am in, the same things will be turned on?

900 I'll assume.

Click program at the top.

Select chice 6 - punch thru

Punch thru box appears.

click - select all at the bottom of the box

All items in left column will highlight

Where is says atthe top - "power on/off"

Select "watch"

now, whatever is programed to the "power on" button will be the same no matter what page your on.

I got all the way up to here but I could not find what you were talking about. BTW, I am using an MX-800. Sorry for not saying earlier. I have included a screenshot of my punchthrough box, so that you can see what I mean. What should I do?

What you're trying to do is not exactly what would be called a punchthrough in the MX-700.

Just manually go into each device, select the on button, and under the macro click "import macro", then go back to Main and click the on button and it'll import the same macro. Then save the macro and go on to the next device.

I would go to each device, click on the ON button at the top, then click the record macro button. Now navigate to the macro you created to turn everything on and select that macro button. Then click the save macro button, do this for each device's ON button. Now if you add a component and need to change the ON macro, you only have to change the original macro because every ON button points to the same macro.

The other way I've done it is to click on each ON button under each device, then in the edit and label buttons window, select the device (or MAIN) where you created you system on macro, then under "IR code" select the system on macro. This will create a shortcut to the same macro on each ON button instead of the previous method of a single step macro pointing to the same macro. I use this method on the B&K CK1.2 keypads (essenially an MX-700) so no matter which device is selected, the off always does a room off macro.

Eric, the MX800s didn't like embedded macros. I never got them to work (the first method you described; recording a macro, and having it call the other macro). On the 700/800/850 I always used the shortcut method.
