Paul - you hit the nail on the head -- so simple yet so difficult. I did not have anything in the body of the email for garage door closed. Once I added a simple line, everything works. Thanks for all your help.

would maybe a separate program for the closed notification be appropriate?

I changed to the below and still didn't get any notification either open or closed. Any other thoughts? BTW, thanks for all your help on this. I appreciate it. If Status 'Garage / I/O Linc - Garage-Sensor' is On Then Send Notification to 'James iPhone' content 'Garage Door OPENED' Else Send Notification to 'James iPhone' content 'Garage Door CLOSED'

when I took the IF out, then I got no notifications at all.

I believe so. With the door closed; the I/O Linc Relay and Sensor both show the current state as OFF in the ISY

I added an ELSE (and changed the From / To times) so that my program now looks like: If Status 'Garage / I/O Linc - Garage-Sensor' is On And From 9:00:00AM To 9:30:00PM (same day) Then Send Notification to 'James iPhone' content 'Garage Door OPENED' Else Send Notification to 'James iPhone' content 'Garage Door CLOSED' However, I still only get notified when the door goes up. Any thoughts on where I messed up?

Paul, thanks for the refresher --- heres the program I use to notify me when the gargage door goes up If Status 'Garage / I/O Linc - Garage-Sensor' is On And From 9:00:00AM To 5:30:00PM (same day) Then Send Notification to 'James iPhone' content 'Garage Door OPENED' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Paul thanks for the reply. I will give it a try. But just in case, I will post a copy of the program i have. However, I can't remember how to copy and post. I searched the forums but can't find the steps. How did you do it?

I use the I/O Link - garage door to control the opening and closing of the garage door. I have been able to set up a notification of a sms message to my cell phone when the garage door opens, But I can not seem to set up a program that notifies me when the garage door closes. Anyone with any thoughts?

Lee - Thanks for the follow up and thoughts. I just today logged back in to see if any comments and thoughts had been posted. I made the changes that you suggested and will let you know how it goes. thanks again James

I am trying to configure a MS to control a togglelinc dimmer switch I want the MS to turn on the light at about 25% brightness when the MS detects motion from 11:30 pm to 5:15 am. I want the light to stay on for about 2 minutes, then turn off. I have created a scene that includes the MS and the togglelinc dimmer. I then wrote the following program: If On Sat, Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri From 4:20:00PM To 5:20:00AM (next day) And Control 'Master Bed Room / Mstr Bedroom-Sensor' is switched On Then Set Scene 'Master Bathroom / Mstr Bath Night Light' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') For 'testing" purposes, I made the program time from 4:20 pm to 5:15 am next day. I will change it to the desired 11:30 pm once I have it all working correctly. The MS is configured as: Timeout (minutes) 1 LED Brightness 0 since this is to be used in a bedroom at night, I don't want any red blinking light Darkness Sens 128 Sensing Mode: checked -- as motion is sensed.... checked -- On only mode:.... checked - Night mode:..... I realize I have yet to figure out how to set the timer for the 2 minutes. However, as it is now 6:30 pm, I would think that if I waived my hand in from of the MS, that the Togglelinc should turn on. It doesn't. I have noticed that the "Current State" for the MS is blank --- not listed as ON or OFF. What have I missed? Any help would be very appreciated.

the light still blinks - flashes off then back on when you walk into the closet after using the togglelinc. It still turns off after 50 or so seconds if walking into the closet if not using the togglelinc. what do you think about remove the "wait 10 min" from the program since the MS already has the 10 min timeout?

Lee thanks for the follow up MS options - Timeout (minutes) 10 LED Brightness 0 (still getiing red blinky light) Darlmess Sensitivity 35 Sensing mode: As Motion is sensed --- checked On Onlyh mode --- NOT checked Night Mode ------ NOT checked 2 program inside a folder that doesnt have any conditions set: 1st program: If On Sat, Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri From 5:00:05AM To 11:30:00PM (same day) And Control 'Master Bathroom / Mstr Bath Closet Sensor' is switched On Then Set 'Master Bathroom / Mstr Bath Closet Light Switch' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') 2nd program: If On Sat, Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri From 5:00:05AM To 11:30:00PM (same day) And Control 'Master Bathroom / Mstr Bath Closet Sensor' is switched Off And Status 'Master Bathroom / Mstr Bath Closet Light Switch' is not Off Then Set 'Master Bathroom / Mstr Bath Closet Light Switch' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') You made an interesting comment prevously about if I want control from the MS when the togglelinc is used to turn on the light that additional logic would be needed.... would it be something like "query togglelinc status; if on, then wait 10 minutes, then off command ---- or -- query togglelinc status, if off, then run program XXXXX ... I know this is not the correct way , but am I on the right track with the query command? Again, thanks for all your help.. I really want to get a good control over MS as I believe that the sensors (motion, occupancy, vacancy, presence, etc) is what make a SMART home, not just and automated home

Ok, I understand that in the current set up, if I turn on the light using the Togglelinc, then the MS will not send an off command after 10 min. of no activity. But why do you think that when I stepped into the closet and the MS sent the ON command and the light came on, that about 50 sec. later, the light turned off? Doesnt the THEN statement Wait 10 minutes in the first program dictate that the light should remain on for 10 min. after the MS doesnt detect any activity? The MS is positioned above the door on the inside of the closet so it should have "seen" me moving around. Thoughts?

To both helpers / responders -- thanks! Lee - Sorry about the time typo. The time was / is set to 11:30 pm; nice catch. I made the the program changes and MS changes as you suggested with one exception. It may be related to I am still using the ISY 99i controller. In the 2nd program, I did not have the option of And Status 'Master Bathroom / Mstr Bath Closet Light Switch' is On but rather, I had to use And Status 'Master Bathroom / Mstr Bath Closet Light Switch' is not Off I then tested the new setup. When I stepped into the closet with the MS, the light activated rigth away! However, even with me moving around in front of the MS, the light shut off after approx 50 secs. I tested this several times with the same result. I then just turned on the light using the togglelinc and did not step into the closet. The light never turned off. I had to shut it off with the togglelinc after 15 minutes. I am beginning to wonder if I have a faulty MS. Any follow up suggestions? Any more info I can provide to you? To anyone - any thoughts where I can find more indepth instructions / training on programing in the ISY? I have looked thru the online info I can find in the tutorials and watched a few youtube videos. All seem to be fairly superficial. Insteon quick start guides provide very little info. Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks
