that fixed it awesome job!

trying to update from 1.1.0 to 1.1.1 it doesnt show fail, but never updates. always showing that i need to update to 1.1.1 not seeing any errors in logs.. etc....seems strange. did the number not get updated in code??

well ... thanks for the help on all this.. i took advice and combined what i had with new ideas and come up with this: added new variables, one each for temp and humid. this seems to make more sense and so far it works.. please critique and point out flaws if any. Thanks! Chicken Humidity Set - [ID 0047][Parent 0045] If $coop_hum > 65 And $coop_hum > $outside_hum And 'Whitehouse / main' Temperature > 40.0°F Then $coop_humid_var = 1 Else $coop_humid_var = 0 Chicken Temperature Set - [ID 004C][Parent 0045] If 'MQTT / ChickCoop1' Temperature >= 85.00°F Then $coop_temp_var = 1 Else $coop_temp_var = 0 Chicken Fan Control - [ID 0046][Parent 0045][Run At Startup] If $coop_humid_var is 1 Or $coop_temp_var is 1 Then Set 'MQTT / ChickCoop3' On Else Set 'MQTT / ChickCoop3' Off as you can see... i simplified it way down from what i had originally. so far it seems to be working as expected.

ok.. been running this new set for a few days now....fan never shuts off even tho both temp and humidity are below threshold. the 5minute 30sec thing was just me trying to get the program not to cycle so much...so not needed if the program was right. also.. just to clarify: i want fan on when temp is above threshold and/or when humidity is above threshold. one problem i had previous was one would shut fan off even when the other was above threshold. thats what got me started on the variable, was to try and get them to work together and not against each other.

sweet!!.. thanks.. i never knew...

how do i set it to run at startup? thanks!

no problem @gregkinney, we are all still learning.. hehe @TJF1960 I have NOT changed anything...i thot I had an idea.. but then i talked myself out of it... my brain is not doing logic well as of late. so.. yes.. i do need help as it is still setting my var to 0 but i cant find the error in programming thats doing it...

i did find one issue...in the humidity program. right now my coop humidity is lower than outside humidity.. so it is running the init var program, which is resetting the var to 0....now how to figure that out.. it might fix the whole thing...

with that.. it would only work if both temp and humidity are both above threshhold. i want fan on independent of those...plus.. as stated above, each change would trigger program.

yes.. i want fan on when it hits either threshold. yes.. i will try to post all parts of the program. the reliable part is...for some reason..its turning fan of and on every few seconds, and also...if i manually over ride it, the variable keeps setting to 0(which is shut off fan) variable is just a state Chicken Humidity Set - [ID 0047][Parent 0015] If $coop_hum > 65 And $coop_hum > $outside_hum And 'Whitehouse / main' Temperature > 40.0°F Then $chicken_coop = 2 Else Run Program 'Chicken Init Var' (If) Chicken Temperature Set - [ID 004C][Parent 0015] If 'MQTT / ChickCoop1' Temperature > 85.00°F And 'MQTT / ChickCoop1' Temperature < 120.00°F Then $chicken_coop = 1 Else Run Program 'Chicken Init Var' (If) Chicken Fan Control - [ID 0046][Parent 0045] If $chicken_coop > 0 Then Set 'MQTT / ChickCoop3' On Else Set 'MQTT / ChickCoop3' Off Chicken Init Var - [ID 004F][Parent 0045][Not Enabled] If $chicken_coop >= 2 Then Wait 5 minutes and 30 seconds $chicken_coop = 1 Else $chicken_coop = 0

many know i have chickens...and yes.. their environment is partly controlled by my Polisy. what i want to do is this...control a fan to come on at a certain temperature and humidity. i am using a variable right now that sets to 1 for temperature on and sets to 2 for humidity on. anything over zero turns fan on... its not very reliable. any ideas? how to turn a fan off and on via 2 separate inputs? thanks!

ok.. @Michel Kohanim got me fixed up.. seems i had a botched update that didnt load all the packages i was supposed to have... after much time from Michel, he got it all fixed up and plugin installed properly and is running as designed! Class A number 1 service hands down! Thanks to all involved!

talking to @Michel Kohanim about it via ticket system from another problem

still no joy after reboot...

i was running 3.0.6 just fine...but HAD to do an update that forced a reinstall of the newest...

it shows in a little red box on the the pg3x webpage when i try to install it.

had a few issues earlier.. regardless, this will not install or update. it shows and install.ns error 500....

@Michel Kohanim thank you very much for update. hopefully its something easy and stupid.. hehe

yes..thats what i just upgraded to last week.

upgraded last week....all my plugins show disconnected. sent in a ticket..did the pg3x.enable thing per michel .. rebooted.. same result, all plugins show disconnected. last correspondence on ticket was over 2 days ago.. over 60% of my home automation is via plugins. whats next step?

to be honest..once i "fixed" it i havnt touched it since so still chugging along as of right now

mine have been random AF for several weeks....i assumed it was Amazon...all mine do is trigger voice . IE.."someone has tripped the driveway sensor" thanks for all the effort!

yeppers! 😁

YES!!!!! that fixed it.. all is working as expected i do believe... Thank you much!

i agree with B hehe
