Guy, I did the test 3 times and got one notification each time. So it looks like the notification is OK.

thanks Guy I'll try that and get back

Thanks Indy, The system setting was not checked so I doubt that was an issue. I used State in variables. As of today, I've received no "repeat" notifications since 6/27....But it hasn't rained, so I shouldn't be getting them. What will be interesting is will I get them when it does rain.

Yes, the Gen Sump2 works fine. Just so you know, the random notifications have not returned, and I have not made changes in any of the programs. The rain that came on Thursday was only .125 inches and it did not trigger anything. Keep your fingers crossed, the notification gremlin has dissolved. No rain is expected for at least another week. I'll report back when that happens and we'll see if the repeat notifications recur.

Here is Gen Sump2: Gen Sump2 - [ID 0005][Parent 0001][Not Enabled] If From 10:00:00AM To 10:15:00AM (same day) Or From 1:00:00PM To 1:15:00PM (same day) Or From 4:00:00PM To 4:15:00PM (same day) Or From 7:00:00PM To 7:15:00PM (same day) Or From 10:00:00PM To 10:15:00PM (same day) Or From 1:00:00AM To 1:15:00AM (same day) Or From 4:00:00AM To 4:15:00AM (same day) Or From 7:00:00AM To 7:15:00AM (same day) Then Set 'Generator Sump New' On Else Set 'Generator Sump New' Off I've really do not have other active program that use notifications. Yes, the Weatherlink is a plug in. It's a Davis Instrument program that gets its info from a weather station I have. The rain is updated every 2.5 seconds The data is public. If you feel like it, go to Weatherlink.com and I think you can search for various weather stations. Mine is Spec Acres Weatherlink, chagrin Falls, Ohio I would attach a screen shot but I think that is not allowed

Guy, Early this morning, I started receiving text notifications as if it had rained. It had not rained at all. I checked Gen Sump2, and it was not engaged. I checked Weatherlink, and daily rain was 0. I got about 20 texts all at randon times. They stopped about 1 pm. Any ideas what might be triggering the notifications when the IF statement is false? Might it be a good idea to move the notification line to Then on Gen Sump2?

Hi Guy Here is the final using "state". Tomorrow's rain should test it Test 1 - [ID 000A][Parent 0001] If 'WeatherLink' Daily Rain > 0.250 Inches Then $S_rain_flag = 1 Else $S_rain_flag = 0 Test 2 - [ID 000F][Parent 0001] If $S_rain_flag is 1 Then Enable Program 'Gen Sump2' Run Program 'Gen Sump2' (If) Send Notification to 'Brooke Text' content 'Rain for Gen Sump ON' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

I can't find "status" at the top. Sorry to be such a pain. The only thing I see is Integer and State. Is state the same as status?

Guy, I've never used variables so I'm not familiar with them. Here is what I fumbled through. Not sure how or what I've done with the "$Int" ? I just can't figure how to get simple "rain_flag = 1" using the variable input. I assume this will not work but can you guide me how to correct? Thank You Test 1 - [ID 000A][Parent 0001] If 'WeatherLink' Daily Rain > 0.250 Inches Then $Int_1_rain_flag = 1 Else $Int_2_rain_flag = 0 Test 2 - [ID 000F][Parent 0001] If $Int_1_rain_flag is 1 Then Run Program 'Gen Sump2' (If) Send Notification to 'Brooke Text' content 'Rain for Gen Sump ON' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Thank You Guy I'll give it a try and test it this Thurs when it's supposed to rain.,

Here is the program I am running. The IF is true when it rains, and the THEN is executed correctly with the notification sent immediately... but then the same notification repeats anywhere from 2 minutes to 10 minutes later for at least 20 repeats. It does eventually stop but then it will start up again at some random time. How do I stop the repeating? Gen Sump 1 - [ID 0002][Parent 0001][Not Enabled] If 'WeatherLink' Daily Rain > 0.250 Inches Then Enable Program 'Gen Sump2' Run Program 'Gen Sump2' (If) Send Notification to 'Brooke Text' content 'Rain for Gen Sump ON' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Note: Gen Sump 2 is a program that turns on a sump pump for a specified length of time and runs until manually disabled. It works well.

MrBill, Again thank you for your quick response and suggestions which I will try shortly and report back. I also appreciate your notes on posting screenshots...nothing like being a newbie!!!

I have a sump pump attached to a Insteon Outdoor plug-in module that I want to turn on/off only if the temperature is above 37 degrees. and within specific 30 minute time periods. I wrote two programs (attached). The first program (Sump1) says if temperature is above 37 degrees, run program Sump 2. Sump2 shows the times I want the pump to run. The issue is Generator Sump (that's the name of the Plug-in module) is turning on once the temperature is above 37 degrees but outside of the time parameters of Sump 2 although it seems to turn off at the end of a time period. Not sure I understand what is going wrong. I tried writing a single program with the if statement containing temp parameters followed by an AND for the first time parameter and OR for the remaining time parameters but that didn't work either. Suggestions would be more than appreciated

Yesterday we had a brief power outage and my ISY is now flashing the red (error) and green (memory) lights and I cannot connect to it via my home network or the portal. I have rebooted ISY twice, checked the connection to my router (only one solid green light) and checked the powerline Insteon interface unit (green light on) . Please help me with next steps to troubleshoot. Thank You

OK I got your update. I will try. Thank You Very Much and I learned a few things too.
