thanks, now I have done that. Only issue so far is that I get a $ sign which you do not have? What did I do wrong? If Control '24.7A.16.1 outside driveway' is switched Fast Off And Control '24.7A.16.1 outside driveway' is not switched On Then $s.Vacation = 1 Else $s.Vacation = 0

I have a folder named Thermostats with three folders (3 tstats) and then 3 programs within each. I do not have any specific button keypads to use. I would like to have one light switch set so that if I do a fast off (quick double tap down) it goes into vacation mode and the above programs do not run. Folder Conditions for 'Thermostats' Add conditions to limit when programs in this folder are allowed to run. If Control '24.7A.16.1 outside driveway' is switched Fast Off Then Allow the programs in this folder to run. How do I change the Then statement to not run? I cannot get it to give me any other choices.

Yep, though I will probably go with the more expensive one because it screws to my board and has screwed wire connections.

Thanks. That is one of the ones i listed above that I found.

But why does it show up in the ISY tree? What can it be used for? There is only one address for each of my lights. Why does each tstat repeat their address 3 times with different names? What would happen if I deleted the ctls'?

And why does the "up stair thermostat - Heat Ct" show up in the Network/ISY tree? What is the purpose of the statement there?

So this is what you meant? thanks Folder Conditions for 'Up Stairs Programs ' Add conditions to limit when programs in this folder are allowed to run. If Status 'Up stairway Thermostat - Main' is Mode Heat Then Allow the programs in this folder to run.

Thanks for the education and input. The in wall tstat wiring runs from the 2nd floor right to the furnace zone controller in the basement. I want to keep this a clean install and want the wire at the zone controller, not in the middle of the basement where someone would unplug it. So I am going to go with one of those converters that will be screwed to the mount board.

Me? Would not know where to start. Not electrically inclined.

I have the one I mentioned earlier. But I really am trying to go from 24vac.

Would these work? http://www.ebay.com/itm/24vac-24vdc-to- ... 3a865c0e2d http://www.ebay.com/itm/Power-Transform ... 3cd3670aa2 http://www.surveillent.com/altronix-vr1 ... MgodgQ8A4g

In my zone controller it is 24v ac. Is there a simple way of converting to 5 v dc? I have a 110v ac to 5v 550 ma phone charger I could use if I want to plug into a wall socket.

I am putting the wireless tstat in the same place as the old tstat. It will communicate with a wired 2441 tstat. I thought I would be able to use two of the old tstat wires to power the wireless 2441 by hooking the furnace end up to a common and R terminals in my zone controller (24v ac). However in reading the directions it says I need: Any generic AC/DC adapter that has a 5-7.5V and 200mA output will work. (Do not use an adapter greater than 7.5V to avoid damaging the thermostat.) Is there anyway of getting around this? My only thought is that I get an adapter, attach to the wires in the basement and then plug it into a wall socket. thanks

Want to make sure I am doing this right. Currently I have programs for the heating season. In order to prepare for the changeover to summer I needed to add a statement so that when I put the thermostats in cool mode they use a different program. Is this line how I should handle it? And then have another set of programs that work IF status is Cool Ct' is on? Or am I going all the wrong way? I will have a total of 4 thermostats. Folder Conditions for 'Up Stairs Programs ' Add conditions to limit when programs in this folder are allowed to run. If Status 'Up stair Thermostat - Heat Ct' is On Then Allow the programs in this folder to run.

Thanks everyone!

I have the following program and want to revise it so on Sat, Sun it comes on at 8:00. However I do not want it to come on if 8:00 is after sunrise. How do I do this? If On Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri From 5:50:00AM To Sunrise (same day) Or On Sat, Sun From 5:50:00AM To Sunrise (same day) Then Set '24.82.CB.1 Library glass' On Set '24.7A.16.1 outside driveway' On Set '24.7B.39.1 outside front cans' On Else Set '24.82.CB.1 Library glass' Off Set '24.7A.16.1 outside driveway' Off Set '24.7B.39.1 outside front cans' Off Turns on and then off library/driveway/front outside can lights in the morning

Any idea how I would do this using iRule?

This is essentially what I did. I put all my thermostat controlling programs in a folder, then I disable that folder based on a variable if I want the thermostat to "hold". I am new at this. How did you do this? I can probably figure out how to disable the program folder using the ISY program but how do you do this physically? Do you have to go into the ISY program or did you add a mechanical button to your system?

Yes, but isy only works when the stat is in heat or cool mode. So I need to take it out of heat mode to use hold.

Yep, just figured that out. So when we want to hold we have to change to "time of day" mode. Had nothing to do with ISY. I have no idea why Insteon did it differently than any other thermostat I have used. Why can it not hold when in heat mode?

I have programmed my thermostat and it works fine. However when I push HOLD it does not seem to hold the temperature. I also see it does not light up the HOLD indicator in the screen. Should the button work when using ISY?

thanks.

My issue was that the else OFF is all times other than the defined IF times. Program one says if it is not 5:30 am to sunrise then lights OFF. Program two says if it is not sunset to 11:00 then lights OFF. So during 5:30 to sunrise program one says lights ON while program two says lights OFF. AND during sunset to 11:00 program two says lights On and program one says lights OFF. What I think you are saying is that the program only executes during the IF time period stated. At sunrise time the lights go off and then the program does not run again until 5:30 the next day. right? Merry Christmas!!

I made up my first light programs and they seem to work. I have the two programs below controlling one light. To me they should conflict because the Else statements can happen at the same time as the If statements in the opposite program. To me they should have a conflict. How does ISY handle this? If From 5:30:00AM To Sunrise (same day) Then Set '24.82.CB.1 Library glass' On Else Set '24.82.CB.1 Library glass' Off Turns on and then off library lights in the morning If From Sunset - 10 minutes To 11:00:00PM (same day) Then Set '24.82.CB.1 Library glass' On Else Set '24.82.CB.1 Library glass' Off Turns on and then off library lights at night
