Genius! I didn't have the lights in any other programs...but...at some point today I was playing with scenes trying to learn how all that works...and I had put the three of them (2 lights + Garage Door) into a scene. Just deleted the scene, and checked several times, and each time everything executed perfectly. Thanks!!! And no, had not linked the devices manually. Thanks everyone for the quick replies and the resolution!

Just checked both lights several times. Each time the ISY reflects the correct on/off status of each light. - There are no other programs with these lights. I just installed them yesterday, and installed the garage unit today. Haven't had a chance to add them to anything else yet. - Firmware is V.4.0.5 - UI is V.4.0.11 ***Here's something I just noticed. My wife just came home, and I was in the middle of testing. I had 1 of the lights on, and 1 of them off. When she opened the garage door. The light that was ON, flashed OFF, then they both went ON. So...I think ISY is catching that light as OFF, and that makes them both OFF, so they both go ON. That leads me to this question...with the above program...why is the light that is ON flashing OFF, then back ON again? Also, just did this...If I leave both lights ON, and open the garage, they both turn OFF. Then when I close the garage, they both flash ON briefly, and then stay OFF. Hmmm...

Thanks for the reply. I just checked the program thoroughly. I had to adjust the time of day, and the green arrow showed, I saved, and the green arrow went away. Both lights off (verified visually), both lights show off in ISY. Opened garage via MobiLinc. Both lights came on. Good. Next I tried... 1 of the lights on (verified visually), verified via ISY, 1 light on, 1 light off. Opened the garage via MobiLinc. The other light came on. This is driving me nuts. Not only that, it's driving the dogs nuts. Every time they hear the garage door opening, they bolt for the door. Also just tried the same 2 tests, but operating the garage door via ISY, instead of MobiLinc. Same results.

I've read every thread I can find with the word garage and lights in it, but can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I've tried every combination of moving the ( ) around, moving the order of things in "Then", and whatever else I could have thought of. Basically, if I come home after sunset, but before sunrise, and 2 lights are OFF (bar lights / kitchen counter lights), I would like to turn them both ON. If at least one of those lights is ON, then I do not want anything to happen (meaning don't turn the other one on). *In this example I'm using a set time of day, not sunset/sunrise so that I can be testing the program. My results: If I have both lights off, and the garage opens, then both of them turn on. Ok, good. BUT, if I have 1 of the lights on, and the garage opens, then it turns the other light on...but that's not want I want. I'd like the other one to stay off. All 3 of the IF functions need to be true for the THEN statement to operate. I even tried putting the ( ) around all of the IF, and that didn't work either. What am I doing wrong? (Sorry about all the basic questions here. Completely new to all of this, and so far most of the items I can figure out or find answers to, but once I cannot figure it out I turn to ya'll. Plus, hopefully this helps anyone searching for answers in the future.) If From 2:00:00PM To 3:00:00PM (same day) And Status 'Garage Door - Right-Sensor' is Off And ( Status 'Bar Lights' is Off And Status 'Kitchen Counter Lights' is Off ) Then Set 'Bar Lights' On Set 'Kitchen Counter Lights' On Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Ok, I've just changed that. What exactly do these parameters (parenthesis) do that the program wasn't (or was for that matter) doing without them? *Edit: Nevermind, I see the answer was at the top of the page...I just didn't read it before. My fault. Thanks for the help! Guess we'll see if this was my issue at 9am tomorrow morning. I'll be sure to report back for anyone having a similar issue in the future. If ( Time is 9:00:00AM Or Time is 6:00:00PM ) And $sLeakWaterLeakSensor1 is not 1 Then Send Notification to 'Peter Cell' content 'Leak Sensor Problem' Send Notification to 'Peter Email' content 'Leak Sensor Problem' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Thanks Kman. My garage sensor arrived today actually, so this thread is perfect timing. I'll try to get everything setup tonight...and report back. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Take it one step further: If you were sent the "Door is Up" alert email that the door has been open for 30 minutes, then have another program send you the "Door is Down alert when the door is closed. You ONLY want to get the down alert if the door was open for more than the interval, i.e. if you get the up email, you want to get the down email. The trick is to set an integer (not state) variable and set it to 0 (false) when the door goes up then to 1 (true) when the up email is sent. Create another program that reacts when the door goes down AND the variable is 1 (true) to send another email alert that the door is down. And useful feature of ISY programming: programs can be set to "disabled" to control when they run. Programs can execute disabled programs but conditions or status changes cannot. I hate to ask, but being totally new to ISY and having only had a very basic programming class in highschool...I can't figure out what this program should look like. Would you mind sharing? This is a great idea to get the notification once it's down after that 30 min window that it was up.

I get the same thing as Teken. Every morning at 9:00am I get a text and email that says: Water Leak Sensor Problem. And the status is:1. Status 1 is Hearbeat OK. I do not get notifications at 6:00 pm. Here is my Leak Sensor Problem Program (according to this, it should only email me if the variable is not 1, but I get the notification which states the variable IS 1): If Time is 9:00:00AM Or Time is 6:00:00PM And $sLeakWaterLeakSensor1 is not 1 Then Send Notification to 'Peter Cell' content 'Leak Sensor Problem' Send Notification to 'Peter Email' content 'Leak Sensor Problem' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') I assume it's got something to do with my Variable 2 program? It's constantly "running then" on the summary page under activity. If Control 'Water Leak Sensor 1-Dry / Water Leak Sensor 1-Heartbeat' is switched On Or Control 'Water Leak Sensor 1-Dry / Water Leak Sensor 1-Heartbeat' is switched Off Then $sLeakWaterLeakSensor1 = 1 Wait 25 hours $sLeakWaterLeakSensor1 = 2 Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

To update: I "borrowed" that water leak sensor program that is very popular. I ran some tests on it, after that, for some reason, control variable 2 keeps running, and last few days I've gotten a notice at 9am of Problem With Leak Sensor, status 1 (which is Heartbeat OK). Other than I can't figure out why the it keeps running and emailing me this everyday....the important part now is that I got an email and text alert about that at 9am this morning. So I just logged on and ran a TEST email from the configurations tab, and it went through no problem. So...sometimes my email/text alerts work, and sometimes they do not....any ideas why that would be?

Michel, I am not running a static IP. Any idea what else I could try? Again, the notifications worked, and now do not. Thanks for your help here and throughout the board btw! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What happens if the mail daemon reports back an email failure / undeliverable notice? I don't think it's undeliverable because I've gotten the emails/texts before. Also, it's not sending both emails or texts. The pop-up error I get is: No Network Connection DHCP State=RENEW Mail Server DNS SMTP_ERRORS-mail.universal-devices.com Just to try something, I unplugged my router, waited a bit, and plugged it back in. I get the same error.

Hit TEST on the notifications tab, and received a DNS error. Earlier today I didn't get a notification, ran the test, got a DNS. Closed and restarted the ISY page. Ran a test program, got notifications, all good again this morning. Now after running the test program above, I didn't get the notificaitons as stated. So I tested again from the notifications tab, and get the box pop up again that says DNS error. I am NOT running a static IP. (I saw in another thread while reading on the DNS that that could be an issue). Any ideas why randomly it's throwing the DNS? Quick update: To make matters easier to understand...closed down ISY page and restarted, logged in, everything looks good. Ran the same program above (changed the times), and I received 1 email that Fire Alarm is ON, and not the email about the Lights being on, nor texts for either. Super annoyed at this point. Should be straight forward.

Ok, so the FROM is controlled by the THEN, and the TO is controlled by the ELSE. Got it. To confirm my understanding, I ran a test program (below), by having 2 lights come on at 1:37 and having only 1 of them in the ELSE statement to turn off at 1:39. As stated, the 1 light in the ELSE statement turned off, and the other light that wasn't in the ELSE statement stayed on. Great. Except...I received no notifications. I ran this exact same program earlier today, except I changed the time, and removed 1 light from the ELSE. Changed nothing else, and this time I get not notifications (while before I received all 4 of the notifications. *Note: The fire alarm notifications aren't related to the lights, they're just in there to test the notifications). Any ideas? Thanks for the help btw! If From 1:37:00PM To 1:39:00PM (same day) Then Set 'Foyer Hall' On Set 'Porch Lights' On Send Notification to 'Peter Cell' content 'Lights Came On' Send Notification to 'Peter Email' content 'Lights Came On' Send Notification to 'Peter Cell' content 'Fire Alarm - ON' Send Notification to 'Peter Email' content 'Fire Alarm - ON' Else Set 'Foyer Hall' Off

In the program below, I have 2 sets of lights turn on at sunset and off and sunrise. Program works fine. However, do I need the else statement as below, or do I leave it blank? What is the else statement for? How does it run in this situation/program, and what would be a good example of having "else" actually do something? Trying to get a deeper understanding of "how" the programming "thinks". If From Sunset To Sunrise (next day) Then Set 'Porch Lights' On Set 'Foyer Hall' On Send Notification to 'Peter Cell' content 'Lights Came On' Send Notification to 'Peter Email' content 'Lights Came On' Else Set 'Porch Lights' Off Set 'Foyer Hall' Off
