I created the following two programs. The first is intended to enable the second. I must be doing something wrong since the second does not run. BuzzLinc - [iD 0020][Parent 0001] If From 8:00:00AM To Sunset (same day) Then Enable Program 'BuzzLinc (Disabled)' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') BuzzLinc (Disabled) - [iD 001F][Parent 0001][Not Enabled] If Control 'Door Sensors / Deck Door Sensor' is switched On Or Control 'Door Sensors / Kitchen Door Sensor' is switched On Or Control 'Door Sensors / Man Cave Door Sensor' is switched On Then Set 'BuzzLinc-Relay' On Set 'BuzzLinc-Relay' Off Set 'BuzzLinc-Relay' On Set 'BuzzLinc-Relay' Off Set 'BuzzLinc-Relay' On Set 'BuzzLinc-Relay' Off Set 'BuzzLinc-Relay' On Set 'BuzzLinc-Relay' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') The second program has the Enabled checkbox unchecked. What am I doing wrong?

The 31.6F.1C is an I/O Linc (AKA BuzzLinc). The 2C.71.97 is the Hidden Door Sensor that was turned on when opening the door and which activated the program. I added an Off Command to the Else before I did the Level 3 Trace above.

I am sometimes slow on the uptake, but Placing "If Control" in quotes finally caught my attention and I modified the program. I now get all the beeps but their spacing is very erratic. I ran the program on level 3 and here is what I got: Mon 08/10/2015 06:35:32 PM : [ IR] 01AA Press Mon 08/10/2015 06:35:34 PM : [ IR] 02D2 Press Mon 08/10/2015 06:35:51 PM : [ IR] 015A Press Mon 08/10/2015 06:37:20 PM : [ IR] 02AA Press Mon 08/10/2015 06:37:36 PM : [iNST-SRX ] 02 50 2C.71.97 00.00.01 C7 11 01 LTONRR (01) Mon 08/10/2015 06:37:36 PM : [std-Group ] 2C.71.97-->Group=1, Max Hops=3, Hops Left=1 Mon 08/10/2015 06:37:36 PM : [D2D EVENT ] Event [2C 71 97 1] [DON] [1] uom=0 prec=-1 Mon 08/10/2015 06:37:36 PM : [ 2C 71 97 1] DON 1 Mon 08/10/2015 06:37:36 PM : [D2D-CMP 001F] CTL [2C 71 97 1] DON op=1 Event(val=1 uom=0 prec=-1) is Condition(val=0 uom=0 prec=-1) --> true Mon 08/10/2015 06:37:36 PM : [iNST-SRX ] 02 50 2C.71.97 00.00.01 CB 11 01 LTONRR (01) Mon 08/10/2015 06:37:36 PM : [std-Group ] 2C.71.97-->Group=1, Max Hops=3, Hops Left=2 Mon 08/10/2015 06:37:36 PM : [iNST-DUP ] Previous message ignored.

BuzzLinc - [iD 001F][Parent 0001] If From 10:00:00PM To Sunrise (next day) And ( Status 'Door Sensors / Deck Door Sensor' is 100% Or Status 'Door Sensors / Kitchen Door Sensor' is 100% Or Status 'Door Sensors / Man Cave Door Sensor' is 100% ) Then Repeat 4 times Set 'BuzzLinc' On Set 'BuzzLinc' Off Else Set 'BuzzLinc' Off The above program is designed to beep 4 times if one of the hidden door sensors is on between 10:00 PM and Sunrise the next day. The program partially works. If the door is opened and held open for a few seconds the beeps occur. However, if a door is opened and quickly closed I get 2 beeps at most. Is there any way to get all the beeps even if the door is quickly closed. Obviously, the door closing negates the full repeat sequence. Also, the beeps are rarely the same duration. Some beeps are long and some short and the interval between them is inconsistent. Any help will be appreciated.

Love it!

Teken: I enjoyed it also. The dongle on the outdoor module makes the plug-in from the SynchroLinc too fragile. Right now I am using rubber bands to ensure things stay together. I plan to get some cable ties for a more permanent solution.

Actually that is electrical tape that was not cut and smoothly trimmed. I went back and checked just to be certain. You have good eyes. After two cornea transplants and cataract surgery I do not have the vision of my youth!

The reason I did not see this option is that I was unaware that I needed to scroll to the bottom of the screen! Thanks, Stu.

How do I post a photo?

I changed the wait to 10 and the system is performing flawlessly. Before I did that I got 2 On and 2 Off notifications when the pump started. Now, as planned, I get the appropriate notifications. Final setup: Outdoor Module plugged into a 110v outlet (used the outdoor module because of high humidity in the cellar). A SynchroLinc is plugged into the Outdoor Module. This setup allows me to remotely control the On/Off status of the pump and to receive a notification when the pump turns On and Off. I also have programming to send a notification if the pump runs for more than 5 minutes. That would let me know if a major break has occurred or someone has left a hose bibb, etc. on. I am pleased with the outcome and very much appreciate the invaluable help received here.

Completed the replacement yesterday and all went smoothly.

I changed holdoff to 10 seconds (defaulted to 9 point something) and the problem was solved, i.e., both programs ran and an On notification was sent followed by the Off notification. The actual time lag between the two notifications reflected the time it took for the pump to refill the tank and cut off. Thanks all.

Thanks.

I will try that.

I have the SynchroLinc installed and this is what I got: Trigger Threshold Watts: 9 Holdoff (Secs) 1.34 Hysteresis (Watts) 5 I wrote two quick programs to send a notification when the pump turns on and when it turns of. The problem is that I got 2 On and 2 Off notifications when the pump started. I don't know the significance of these data and especially hysteresis (what is that!) so I don't know how to proceed with troubleshooting. I posted this as part of my original post but that is so far down that I feared no one would see it.

Won't know until I return there next Monday. I will check it out and post a photo.

stusviews: No, the pressure switch cannot be manually manipulated. The water must be turned on in the house and/or at an outside hose bibb until the pressure falls to the cut on setting.

It is 110v.

The pump is plugged into an outlet. I plan to plug the Outdoor Module into the outlet, the SynchroLinc into the Outdoor Module and the pump into the SynchroLinc. Your program will address long pump run times. I will use simple on and off programs to give me data on frequency. All programs will be enabled when we are away from the location.

stusviews: The pump is pressure activated. The pump is controlled by a pressure switch and pumps into a storage tank with a bladder. It activates at about 25 psi and cuts off at about 42 psi. In normal residential use it cycles on and off minimizing wear to the pump. We are away from the location most of the time and I plan to use a motion-activated water sprinkler to deter deer. The sprinkler operates briefly and resets for the next event. The sprinkler will be supplied by a hose from an outside hose bibb and will be activated only during the gardening season. When we are away from the location I am interested in knowing when the pump turns on and off. If those incidents are infrequent all is well. A simple program that sends me an email when the pump turns on and another when it turns off will give me data as to pump run frequency and since the emails have time indicated I will know approximately how long the pump ran. If I get the first email but not the second or the second comes much later than the time needed to fill the tank, I will know I have a serious problem and use the Outdoor Module to turn off the pump until I can investigate. I will place these programs in a folder activated by a device controlled on my MobiLinc or the Admin Console. Xathros: That information is most helpful.

I understand about Insteon and wifi. I was referring to being able to use my computer at that location to access the Admin Console. Sorry I wasn't clear. By the way, I may have found a reference to pump amperage. One source said 7.1/3.6. I take that to likely mean that 7.1 is the startup amperage and the running amperage is 3.1 or that is the amperage range for the pump depending on the lift distance. At any rate, install, setup and programming is apparently going to be a challenge. I hope I can continue to look to you folks for help.

The problem is measuring the off state, leaving the cellar and turning the water on elsewhere. Running back to the cellar and getting the power ON reading. To further complicate maters I may not have wifi in the cellar. Sounds like the ammeter is my best choice.
