Wake up: If On Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri From 6:00:00AM To 8:00:00AM (same day) Or On Sat From 7:45:00AM To 9:29:59PM (same day) Or On Sun From 7:45:00AM To 9:15:00AM (same day) And $S.vacation is 0 Then Set 'Kitchen Thermostat-Main' 68° (Heat Setpoint) Else Set 'Kitchen Thermostat-Main' 60° (Heat Setpoint) Back Home If On Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri From 3:45:00PM To 9:29:59PM (same day) Or On Sun From 11:00:00AM To 9:29:59PM (same day) And $S.vacation is 0 Then Set 'Kitchen Thermostat-Main' 68° (Heat Setpoint) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Bedtime: If On Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu From 9:30:00PM To 5:59:59AM (next day) Or On Sat, Fri From 9:30:00PM To 7:44:59AM (next day) And $S.vacation is 0 Then Set 'Kitchen Thermostat-Main' 62° (Heat Setpoint) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Thanks, I think that is what I have been trying to say! That will be a bunch of program changes but off I go.

But what about the sleep program that starts at 9:30 pm? Why does that program not run at 9:00 if the state variable changes to 0? It says IS 9:30, not after or before. If Time is 9:30:00PM And $S.vacation is 0 Then Set 'Kitchen Thermostat-Main' 62° (Heat Setpoint) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

HUH? It works as you said but how come? It is 4:24, not 3:45 on Thursday. I thought I would have to add a time range for it to work.

Xathros, that is not the issue. Problem was that the home programs would not run. In the original program below There is just a start time so it ask the set point to change only at 3:45. So when I added "If variable = 0" and then did the fast on at 4:00 it would not run. The next program would run though at 9:30 when it was supposed to run. If On Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri Time is 3:45:00PM Or On Sun Time is 11:00:00AM Then Set 'Kitchen Thermostat-Main' 68° (Heat Setpoint) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') So I think I have to copy all those programs and add the too time. If Control '24.7A.16.1 outside driveway' is switched Fast On And On Sun From 11:00:00AM To 9:29:00PM (same day) Or On Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri From 2:00:00PM To 9:29:00PM (same day) Then Set 'Kitchen Thermostat-Main' 68° (Heat Setpoint) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Is there a better way to modify the original programs so I do not have to add another set of programs? Gonna get mighty messy with.

thanks, will try and remember.

Which commands can I use in a folder? variables? status? ?????

Now I am trying to make it so when I FAST ON, the tstats resume their normal schedules. I modified the program by adding the Or statement thinking it would force the tstats to change. However the programs seem to not be running until the change times happen in the programs. How do I force the tstats to run the corresponding part of their program during the time? Do I need to modify the tstat programs with a time from ***** to ****** statement? Would htat do it? A better way? Folder Conditions for 'Thermostats' Add conditions to limit when programs in this folder are allowed to run. If $S.vacation is 0 Or Control '24.7A.16.1 outside driveway' is switched Fast On Then Allow the programs in this folder to run. Sample tstat program If On Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri Time is 3:45:00PM Or On Sun Time is 11:00:00AM Then Set 'Kitchen Thermostat-Main' 68° (Heat Setpoint) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

thanks. Gotta practice fast tapping. What does the previous message ignored mean? Maybe that the light is already off? Is there somewhere where the feedback is explained? Group? Max hops? Hops left? some kind of game:)

I moved the 3 line program setting the tstats to 60 out of the folder and added the variable if statement to it so it is now part of the MY Programs base folder. It now works. What was I doing wrong? Seems like it should have worked. If $S.vacation is 1 Then Set 'Kitchen Thermostat-Main' 60° (Heat Setpoint) Set 'Master Thermostat - Main' 60° (Heat Setpoint) Set 'Upstairs Thermostat - Main' 60° (Heat Setpoint) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

I set up my switch for the fast off and fast on. I can change the variable state to 1 (per the ISY program status) which should set all tstats to 60. However the tstats do not change. The variable did change to 1 but in the event log viewer I get: Thu 02/20/2014 07:50:25 AM : [iNST-SRX ] 02 50 24.7A.16 00.00.01 CB 13 00 LTOFFRR(00) Thu 02/20/2014 07:50:25 AM : [std-Group ] 24.7A.16-->Group=1, Max Hops=3, Hops Left=2 Thu 02/20/2014 07:50:25 AM : [ 24 7A 16 1] DOF 0 Thu 02/20/2014 07:50:26 AM : [iNST-SRX ] 02 50 24.7A.16 00.00.01 CB 13 00 LTOFFRR(00) Thu 02/20/2014 07:50:26 AM : [std-Group ] 24.7A.16-->Group=1, Max Hops=3, Hops Left=2 Thu 02/20/2014 07:50:26 AM : [iNST-DUP ] Previous message ignored.

But the links I have to all my already installed units are still there? Right? Or are they deleted and then put back automatically? Or are they only deleting the links in the new unit?

But why do I want to delete all my links? And yet my links stay? Guess I will just hit the first choice because it works and that is what you do!

Thanks. So much to learn.

It is at 2 minutes and he even says "keep" instead of "remove" which is what is written down.

I am watching a tutorial and they are going thru the linking procedure. The box comes up with the 3 choices. The way I heard it the first choice should be only used for the first install of a unit. And use the 2nd when installing another unit. Sorry but I do not understand. I have been installing new switches and using the first option and I do not believe I have been losing my old links? What am I missing?

A state variable will trigger an if statement when its value changes. An integer variable will not. Otherwise they are the same. -Xathros Huh? Guess I better keep watching the tutorials I just found.

Well that was it. I have never used variables before and had no idea that there was the right tab and a wrong tab!! What is the difference between and Integer and State variables? Maybe integers are for counting and State are 0 or 1 (yes/ne)?

Not at home now but the file was under the main My Folder. One issue I am having is when I exit the program. And close the webpage I do not get the user / password when I restart the isy software. I have to reset the isy module by powering down. Could hhis be related?

what does that mean? in the variables page it has Init which is 0 and Value which is now 1.

I put the tstats at 60 into a new folder under the My Programs folder. Now the summary says true when I fast off. BUT the tstats did not change to 60!!

Insteon 2441th I set the variable to 0 in the Program / Variables page. Then fast down the switch. variable Value is now 1 in the Program / Variables page. program says false in the Program / Summary page. So it is not being triggered? If $s.Vacation is 1 Then Set 'Kitchen Thermostat-Main' 60° (Heat Setpoint) Set 'Master Thermostat - Main' 60° (Heat Setpoint) Set 'Upstairs Thermostat - Main' 60° (Heat Setpoint) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Here is the program I added. name: tstats at 60 If $s.Vacation is 1 Then Set 'Kitchen Thermostat-Main' 60° (Heat Setpoint) Set 'Master Thermostat - Main' 60° (Heat Setpoint) Set 'Upstairs Thermostat - Main' 60° (Heat Setpoint) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') The s.vacation variable says 1 on the Variables page. On the summary page it says "tstats at 60" is true. but none of the tstats changed. Is there a time lag?

OK, Now I want to revise the program so that when I fast off all tstats are set to 60. Do I make a whole new folder and add Folder Conditions for 'thermostat vacation Program' Add conditions to limit when programs in this folder are allowed to run. If $s.Vacation is 1 Then Allow the programs in this folder to run. If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Set 'Kitchen Thermostat-Main' 60° (Heat Setpoint) Set 'Master Thermostat - Main' 60° (Heat Setpoint) Set 'Upstairs Thermostat - Main' 60° (Heat Setpoint) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
