Thanks Jack. Yes, being from C & C++ this is a tad different

@jca001 Much appreciated, thank you for putting that together. ============================================================================================ Then $State_Check_MS_Low_Battery = 1 Wait 30 seconds $State_Check_MS_Low_Battery = 0 Side note: from my readings, you are using a 'State' variable above to take advantage of the fact that when it changes then FD MS Low Battery Check - [ID 0026][Parent 0060] will be run every time that variable changes. It takes a bit of time getting use to 'Event driven programming'.

Thanks @jca001 That’s what I thought.

Thanks Humm Well that’s quite like not seeing the forest for the trees.

Thanks Larry1. Any answers to the two comments in the post prior to your post.

So you get the message and put a new battery in the MS. - How does $Int_FD_MS_Battery_Low get set back to zero? =========================================================================== - Seems like something like the following might replace the last two programs, however, I probably am missing something. If ( Time is 7:15:00AM Or Time is 7:15:00PM ) And $Int_FD_MS_Battery_Low > 0 Then Send Notification to 'Home and Work' content 'FD MS Low Battery' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

@jca001, thank you. Since I started with this stuff 3 weeks ago still struggling with the acronyms/terminology/jargon. Or maybe it’s has to do with old age.

@jca001 In ‘FD MS Low Battery On - [ID 0024][Parent 0060]’ , what is the function of: $Int_FD_MS_Battery_Low Init To $Int_FD_MS_Battery_Low

Yes, Larry was a very popular name a few years ago ? . I worked with a Larry once, he called me Lawrence I called him Larry2. I think Larry means, very good looking and very smart . . . Well, at least I still can recognize my name.

Another example: When Status is used in the ‘If’, a button on a hand remote (linked to that device) can cause the Status of that device to change, this would ‘also’ be detected as would a press on that device’s paddle. You would therefore be able to detect a ‘hand remote’ button event and/or a ‘device paddle’ press event with one program.

Re: AtStartupTime - [ID 0004][Parent 0001][Not Enabled][Run At Startup] For those following, I just tested my program (green) in the last post, it 'does' work. Q.E.D.

Not after you mentioned the factory reset That's an ugly emoticon. AtStartupTime - [ID 0004][Parent 0001][Not Enabled][Run At Startup] If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Disable Program 'GarageEntryTrigger' Set 'Outlets / PatioOutlets / FountainOnOffTop' Off Disable Program 'AtStartupTime' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Anything that needs to be initialized at power-up can be placed in this program. Examples: Disable some programs, turn off the water fountain etc.

@larryllix thank you for this. Excellent idea. Now in the program I posted prior to your post, I am confused what this would do: If Program 'AtStartupTime' is True Then Disable Program 'GarageEntryTrigger' Set 'Outlets / PatioOutlets / FountainOnOffTop' Off etc. (2 more months ) But time is going by too fast ! !

Found something, I believe this would be a valid way to initialize things at Startup/Reboot time. AtStartupTime - [ID 0004][Parent 0001] If Program 'AtStartupTime' is True Then Disable Program 'GarageEntryTrigger' Set 'Outlets / PatioOutlets / FountainOnOffTop' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Anything that needs to be initialized at power-up can be placed in this program. Examples: Disable some programs, turn off the water fountain etc.

Thanks again @paulbates As a new user with this stuff, I have been having fun. I read something a while back about running a program at reboot time only, I cannot seem to find it again. Was thinking this would be a good feature to use so I can reboot to to a known state. Would you have a suggestion about the run at reboot time?
