Yes, That would work great. Thanks

Not as much that functionality as much as If Thanksgiving, Memorial day, or Labor Day, etc. These dates change each year. Easy for me to program fixed date holidays like 7/4, 12/25, or 1/1. Barring any solution i just update holiday dates one during the new year in the programs.

Thanks all. I just used the native Month, Day, and Year in ISY that Bumbershoot referenced. Didnt know they were there. It doesnt solve the knowing when the holidays are for those that fall on different dates each year. Ill just have to manually program them each year. Im using this to send birthday, holiday type text info to my Elk panel displays on those days. I also plan to use them to control LED stair lighting changing the color of the lights based on the holiday. My next foray, not related to date, is adding motorized blinds to my ISY. Home automation is like crack (not that I have used it). Always looking for something else to automate...

Ive have reviewed the forums and searched but i havent seen any really good options on having date variables to be used by ISY programs for If statements. Ive seen a program set that I can add that does it programmatically in the ISY. My concern is how accurate it will be over time and get out of sync. Questions Are their any calls that can be made with the ISY to the ISY portal or Polyglot that will enable me to store a Month, a Day, and Year variable in my ISY that I can then use in my programs? Also, Are there any services that will enable me to capture if the day is a holiday? Some are easy that are tied to days like July 4th is 7/4 and Christmas is 12/25. I am interested in having a variable like sMemorialDayToday and be able to set it to 1 if it is Memorial Day. Thanks A2Z

Ive a couple of questions. I have been using the program for a couple of years. I started with the original version then went to the version with the VariableControl 2a and 2b programs. 1) Since the original program in this thread was not modified to the variable 2a and 2b version, does that mean we should use the original? Were there issues? 2) In the screen shot attached, I noticed in the original variable 1 program an else clause that I have not been running. The original var 1 program has an else set leak variable to 1. Since in a no leak condition this else clause will run, wont the leak variable always be a 1 no matter if the Var 2 program sets it to a 2, or the Var 3 program sets it to a 3? The var 1 program will always reset the leak variable to 1 immediately. What am I missing?
