I'm using those to turn on with alexa

Can someone check my programming, when pool heating variable is set to 1 I want to set thermostat to 89 degrees and turn on pump. If set temp below temperature then turns on heater. Every 45 mins I was to run the pump to cycle pool water and get good temperature reading. The circulation program doesn't seem to be working for me, the pump has been running the whole time.

ah

I have a thermocouple that I soldered to back of wireless thermostat and it works great but how can I turn on the pool heater when the temperature is below set point? I thought it was the Heat CTL node but mine shows nothing for status

I have seen one instance of the variable getting changed, like I stated, if it changes i have a notification set and it never fires unless I change it manually. When the program quits working the variable is still always set as 1. I'll just change to the times and that should resolve it right?

that looks like a good alternative, I may choose that. Thanks

right, before I had it run the pumps 2 hours then wait 4 hours then restart so I would think this is the same. I eventually need to write a program that uses my thermostat but right now I just want it to maintain the temp without running constantly. This has worked well untill I started noticing it wasn't running at all. Do you think I could search some log and see if the turned off "heat pool" program somewhere? Not sure if the logging is on all the time or not

I went ahead and changed it to this which I think is the same as I had, I'll see if it makes a difference HeatPool - [iD 0039][Parent 003E] If $PoolHeating is 1 Then Repeat Every 6 hours Set 'Pool Equipment / SupplyValve' Off Set 'Pool Equipment / ReturnValve' Off Set 'Pool Equipment / Polaris' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Pool Equipment / FilterPump' On Set 'Pool Equipment / PoolHeater' On Wait 2 hours Set 'Pool Equipment / FilterPump' Off Set 'Pool Equipment / PoolHeater' Off Else Set 'Pool Equipment / FilterPump' Off Set 'Pool Equipment / PoolHeater' Off

yeah it's weird to me because I even set the init to 1/0 when I want to turn it on or off so even if power cycled it should restart. Then I even wrote the program to notify me if it ever changes to 0 that way I would know if somehow it was getting changed and I've never gotten anything. Even to test I changed it to zero and was instantly notified on my phone. Frustrating because it seems like it will work for a few days, get my pool nice and hot and then next thing I know it's quit and my pool is cold.

doesn't my last line of the then statement repeat? "Run Program 'HeatPool' (Then Path)"

I wrote this program to keep my pool heated anytime that the poolheating state variable is 1. It will run for a day or so and then next thing I know it's not running yet the state variable is still set to 1. What could cause it to stop, frustrating. I even set a notification if variable changes and it never does but the program stops. If $PoolHeating is 1 Then Set 'Pool Equipment / SupplyValve' Off Set 'Pool Equipment / ReturnValve' Off Set 'Pool Equipment / Polaris' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Pool Equipment / FilterPump' On Set 'Pool Equipment / PoolHeater' On Wait 2 hours Set 'Pool Equipment / FilterPump' Off Set 'Pool Equipment / PoolHeater' Off Wait 4 hours Run Program 'HeatPool' (Then Path) Else Set 'Pool Equipment / FilterPump' Off Set 'Pool Equipment / PoolHeater' Off ***notification If $PoolHeating is 0 Then Send Notification to 'Text' content 'Heater' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

thanks you are way more knowledgeable about this than 99% of us. Looking at what you wrote I still have no clue how you determine what "group" the relay is associated with. I know you highlighted it but not sure how a laymen would determine that. I've got it working now so thanks

Ok after looking bit more it goes back to my original question. This is an IO linc and when I use 30 4A 13 1 it is getting status of the sensor and not the relay. I assume it's because of the 1 and of course the wiki doesn't tell you how to determine what value to use after the address. How do you determine which value you u want after the address? I need status of the relay instead of the sensor?

ok both say on, it's a iolinc low voltage controller.

How do i check device state vs status. Ever since my plm died thing havent been the same Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

That worked but it says its off but i just looked and its on. Is that supposed to get current state of node? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

I'm trying to get the status of my pool heater when it's turned off and on. I tried "Pool Heater is ${sys.node.30 4a 13 1.st}" and when it runs it sends me "Pool Heater is node[30 4a 13] instead. Also, I assume your supposed the add the 1 to the end of the node address, wiki doesn't explain that. Thanks

so i removed remote thermostat from my system and tried to add it back and now get "cannot determine insteon engine" when I try to link it. so frustrating.

I could but all my other programs set them before to make sure they are right anyway. Thanks

I ended up doing it like this If $PoolHeating is 1 Then Set 'Pool Equipment / SupplyValve' Off Set 'Pool Equipment / ReturnValve' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Pool Equipment / FilterPump' On Set 'Pool Equipment / PoolHeater' On Wait 2 hours Set 'Pool Equipment / FilterPump' Off Set 'Pool Equipment / PoolHeater' Off Wait 4 hours Run Program 'HeatPool' (Then Path) Else Set 'Pool Equipment / FilterPump' Off Set 'Pool Equipment / PoolHeater' Off

I've relinked it, I've reset it, I've tried everything. The temp on thermostat shows correctly, it's just not reporting back. I even got in my hot tub and the temp changed 14 degrees so I know it's not that. Man everything worked so good before I lost my plm. I was going to remove it completely from the isy next and re add it. I don't use it anywhere other than checking temp of hottub.

2441ZTH - i've read that it won't send status until a 2 degree temperature change. I would have imagined by now I would have had a 2 degree change. I'm going to test that tonight.

I'm having same issue, how did you resolve it?

it's old and I've had it off all winter so I don't know if/when it went out. It's the first time I've seen it in admin but I rarely log into my unit. I'll check it tonight thanks

that was my first thought yesterday and I unplugged it and plugged back in and I thought the led was lit. I will check tonight
