A 2420M motion sensor is used to detect any visitor during the evening hours at my house. When motion the motion sensor is on a number of lights turn on inside the house. They stay on for X min then turn off. The other night the motion sensor did not reset to off (per the ISY). I was not at home and had no means of trying to reset the motion sensor on the ISY by walking into the path of the motion sensor to trigger another event. As a result I turned off the program (via Mobilinc) that controls the reaction to the motion sensor as I did not want to chance that the lights inside the house would keep cycling on/off (if the sensor was indeed stuck in the "on" position). Any suggestions on how to improve upon my program idea or what other action I might have tried?

Last week I was able to successfully send txt messages for notifications. I tried to test the notifications tonight and got a mailer server failure - password not accepted. I have the SMTP setting at Use Default. Any suggestions?

You found the issue. Each test light in Program #2 was set to turn on at less than 100%. Changing the program to "is not off" resolved the issue. Thanks a ton for your thoughts and solution.

I tried your suggestion(s) of adding the () and disabling Program #1 during the time period. The Brass BR lamp will not turn off when either of the test lights in Program #2 are turned on. Program #2 was run on time and shows a status of "false". It did not change after I ran the test mentioned in the last sentence. I also tried one other thing. I changed the schedule in Program 2 to run from sunset +1 hr 21 min to sunset +2hr 22 min. I delayed this program start by 1 min in order to separate the schedule event in Program #1 from the start of Program #2. No change in results. I did the test you suggested on this altered program as well. Any other suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks for looking at my program. I will try to explain my intent with Program #2. Assuming that the Brass BR light has been turned on in Program #1, I want this same light to turn off (and stay off) if either the Kitchen Ceiling or Family Room Table lamp is turned on during the interval of sunset +1 hr 20 min - 2 hr 22 min. (same day). Right now the Brass BR light will not turn off under Program #2. It will turn off under Program #3 which is a schedule specific event. I did enter the () you mentioned but it did not resolve the execution issue. Any insight is appreciated.

I have created 3 programs to control a light (Brass BR lamp) under 3 situations: (1) At sunset +1hr 20 min turn on if other test lights are all off. (This program works fine) (2) At anytime during a time period of sunset +1hr 20 min to +2 hr 22 min same day, turn off Brass BR Lamp if either of 2 lights are on. At this point I want the Brass BR lamp to stay off regardless of the condition of either 2 test lights. This program does not work as the Brass BR lamp always remains on. (3) Turn off Brass BR lamp at sunset +2hr 23 min. This program works. Can anyone find the error in program #2? Program #1 If Time is Sunset + 1 hour and 20 minutes And Status 'Brass Br Lamp' is Off And Status 'Fam Rm Table' is Off And Status 'Kitchen Ceiling Keypad - A' is Off And Status 'Retreat' is Off Then Set Scene 'Brass Bedroom Lamp' On Run Program '2 Brass "Rm early off' (If) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Program #2 If From Sunset + 1 hour and 20 minutes To Sunset + 2 hours and 22 minutes (same day) And Status 'Kitchen Ceiling Keypad - A' is On Or Status 'Fam Rm Table' is On Then Set Scene 'Brass Bedroom Lamp' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Program #3 If Time is Sunset + 2 hours and 23 minutes Then Set Scene 'Brass Bedroom Lamp' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Darn those details. It appears that you have solved my issue. Thx a lot for your insight.

In the morning when I turn on (manually) the Family Rm Ceiling and then follow with the Family Rm Table (On) the Family Room Ceiling will turn off. If I reverse the sequence with the Table first followed by the ceiling light then both stay on. Why? These programs run the previous evening. If Time is Sunset + 15 minutes And ( Status 'Fam Rm Key - Ceiling' is Off And Status 'Kitchen Ceiling Keypad - A' is Off And Status 'Fam Rm Table' is Off ) Then Set 'Fam Rm Key - Ceiling' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') If Time is 10:21:00PM And Status 'Fam Rm Table' is On Or Status 'Kitchen Ceiling Keypad - A' is On Or Status 'Kitchen Ceiling Keypad - A / Kitchen Cabinets Upper - B' is On Or Status 'Kitchen Pool' is On Then - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Else Set 'Fam Rm Key - Ceiling' Off

What is wrong with this program? The Rear BR can light comes on if the conditions are affirmed. However, it does not turn off. If Time is Sunset - 15 minutes And ( Status 'Fam Rm Key - Ceiling' is Off And Status 'Fam Rm Table' is Off And Status 'Kitchen Ceiling Keypad - A' is Off ) And Status 'Rear Br Can' < 34% Then Set 'Rear Br Can' 70% Wait 1 hour and 40 minutes Set 'Rear Br Can' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Advanced wins the prize. That program is dead on correct. Thx

I am trying to create a program where a light "family room key ceiling" is turned on at a specific time only if other lights are turned off. Then I want to eventually turn off the "family room key ceiling" if certain other lights are also turned off. I have run the program below and find no issues with the "turn on" part. My issues are that I can never turn off the family room ceiling. If the other test lights in the initial program are off the family room key ceiling will never turn off, even if I push the control button on the keylinc. Any ideas? Folder Conditions for ' Family Ceiling ON' Add conditions to limit when programs in this folder are allowed to run. If Time is Sunset + 15 minutes Then Allow the programs in this folder to run. If ( Status 'Fam Rm Key - Ceiling' is Off And Status 'Kitchen Ceiling Keypad - A' is Off And Status 'Fam Rm Table' is Off ) Then Set Scene 'Fam Rm Ceiling' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') In a separate folder I have the following to test/turn off the fam rm key ceiling Folder Conditions for 'Family Rm Off' Add conditions to limit when programs in this folder are allowed to run. If Time is 10:21:00PM Then Allow the programs in this folder to run. If Status 'Fam Rm Table' is On Or Status 'Kitchen Ceiling Keypad - A' is On Or Status 'Kitchen Ceiling Keypad - A / Kitchen Cabinets Upper - B' is On Or Status 'Kitchen Pool' is On Then - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Else Run Program '2Family Rm End' (Then Path) If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Set 'Fam Rm Key - Ceiling' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

I love the ISY device and the concept, however, I am going nuts trying to write programs which are more complex than simply "turn on/off" commands to a single device. I truly wish that more documentation existed to help learn the advanced programming part.
