I am having a heck of a time with something I would have thought should be pretty simple. I am still a noobie but... I have a 3 bay garage with iolinks on all 3 doors. If the sensor for the IOLink senses that the door is open, I want it to wait 15 minutes, check to see if the door is STILL open and then close it. Easy as that. It should work with any of the 3 doors. Can anyone give me a pointer in the right direction? I ride my motorcycle to work so it would be nice to have the door shut behind me. And the wife leaves the garage door open all the time when she leaves the house. So I was hoping this could be my solution. Thanks!

This is good feedback guys. Thanks. Got it working.

Hey All, I would like to setup a couple of panic mode buttons for the wife and kids. I am new to the programs still and could use a little advice. There are a couple I want to setup. First is a silent alert that sends me a text if it is tripped. That one is easy. The other is a real panic alarm that if it is tripped, every light in and out of the house will flip on an off for 10 minutes, send me a text as well as a couple of things. Hopefully that would scare any not so determined person away knowing my whole neighborhood is being alerted. I am stuck though. Can you take a look? I can setup a repeat for the lights flashing but not time based, just incremental counter. Any help would be great. If Control 'Living Room- G' is switched Fast On Or Control 'Dining Room - G' is switched Fast On Or Control 'Master Bedroom-G' is switched Fast On Then Send Notification to 'Kerry - Text' content 'Emergency Trigger' Set 'Siren' On Repeat 1000 times Set Scene 'Every Light' Fast On Set 'Siren' On Wait 1 second Set Scene 'Every Light' Off Set 'Siren' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Hi All, I would like to setup the H button on all three of my KPL's around the house so that the H key is an ALL OFF. In other words, hit the H key on any of the three and all the lights in the house go off. I created a scene that has all the lights I want shut off and set their ON Level to 0% for every light in the Scene. I also setup all 3 H keys as responders in the scene as well. I then created the following program: If Control 'Dining Room - H' is switched On Or Control 'Living Room- H' is switched On Or Control 'Master Bedroom-H' is switched On Then Set Scene 'Every Light Off' On Else Set Scene 'Every Light Off' Off The program works fine and shuts off all the lights, but the H Key of whichever KPL I touch stays lit up and status stays on. What do I need to change here? Do I turn off the Toggle for H Keys on the KPLs?

Lots of great feedback guys. I went through and reread the Motion Sensor wiki page very carefully as well and came up with another combo. Let me know what you think about this. NuttyComputer thanks for the explanation on the IF statement. I didn't realize it reevaluated with the WAIT statement. Here is what I have now. One program to turn the lights on and one to turn them off. This one turns the lights on and also keeps down the chatter to the ISY through a series of conditions: If From 5:00:00AM To 10:00:00PM (same day) And Control 'MS-Garage-Sensor' is switched On And Control 'MS-Garage-Sensor' is not switched Off And Status 'Sitting Room - Main' is Off Then Set Scene 'Motion - Garage' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') This one turns the lights off after there has been no motion sensed for more than the given number of minutes. (Or at least I think this is right) If Status 'MS-Garage-Sensor' is Off And Program 'Motion - Garage Door' is True Then Wait 4 minutes Set Scene 'Motion - Garage' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') I used the examples on the wiki page to build these. My big challenge now is that just about ANYTHING seems to be setting off the motion sensor so I need to figure out what sensitivity level I should keep it at.

Thanks Xathros. The reason I had it based on Status vs Control switched to ON is because of how I have the motion sensor setup. I have it set with the following settings. Timeout: 2 minutes Sensing Mode: As Motion is Sensed ON Only Mode: ON/OFF Night Mode: Always The thought I had, is that I dont want the lights shutting off and then immediately back on. So I thought the combo of the wait statement in the program, the 2 minute timeout and the sensing mode being as motion is sensed, should have covered my bases. I'm I looking at this wrong? Thanks.

Hey All, The wife picked me up two new motion sensors for Chistmas to add to my network. I have searched and seen a ton of posts on Motion Sensors but none quite like the challenge I am having. I am just trying to do something VERY basic. I have a motion sensor aimed at the door coming in from our attached garage. If it senses movement coming in from the door, it should activate a scene that turns on lights on the first floor of the house for you. If after 30 minutes there is no more motion activity then it should shut those lights off. I am activating the scene through a program. If Status 'MS-Garage-Sensor' is On Then Set Scene 'Motion - Garage' On Wait 30 minutes Set Scene 'Motion - Garage' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') I got the motion sensors added in as new devices just fine. I can check the status of the MS in the admin console and see that it is sensing motion and the current state switches to on. The lights in the scene I created never come on though! If I manually go into the admin console, right click the program and Run IF, then the scene activates. Any ideas what I am doing wrong here? Thanks in advance.

I see no reason NOT to do it one program. The one in my post above will do it one program. That's hardly a complicated set of conditions. If things get too crazy then more programs help, but this situation isn't that bad. I tried it your way as well and both work just fine. I will keep it in one program until I run into issues and then I might break it into two. Thanks again!

Great! Thanks guys for the super fast responses. All working now. I had been hoping to do it all in one program but I understand why you wouldn't do that now.

Thanks. Maybe I am just not used to the ISY interface yet. If I just type it out in Notepad I get the logic just fine. I just cant figure out how to do the groupings in the admin console.

Sorry about that I should have done that in the first place. If Control 'Master Bedroom / Master Bedroom-B' is switched On Then Set Scene 'Morning Trail' On Wait 30 minutes Set Scene 'Morning Trail' Off Else Set Scene 'Morning Trail' Off What I want to do is make it such that IF Switch B is on it does the Then Statement, OR if Morning Trail is ON and I fastoff the Garage switch, it turns off the Morning Trail scene and turns Master Bedroom B (Which I used to turn is all on) to back off. Does that make sense or is it clear as mud? Thanks.

Hey All, I just created a program called Morning Trail. I am always the first one up in the morning. If I push button B on my KPL it lights the way from the bedroom down into the kitchen and out to the garage. I have a wait statement that then shuts the scene back off after 30 minutes. How do I add an OR to the program. The OR statement would be that OR IF I fastoff the garage light it shuts the whole scene back down. That way the lights don't stay on the entire 30 minutes if I hit the garage light button quickly on my way out the door in the morning. Is this even possible? Thanks!
