Thanks @Geddy . I had forgot that Run at Startup would evaluate that it was within the timeframe and not just at the From and To times.

Thanks. Ages ago there was advice that it created issues of its own. Do you think that has all been resolved or maybe it was just the logic got out of sync so no real "fix" was coming.

I knew this was an issue but I've never taken time to think it out. Can I get your thoughts? I've got HVAC programs that run primarily by time of day to set temps. Following is an example for Master Suite sleeping temps. Last night about 10:00, I discovered the eISY was "hung" so pulled power and it restarted -- looked good on restart. However, I noticed my setpoint temps for Master Suite were not properly set when I was getting ready for bed a little later. The program to set sleeping temps runs at 9:00 so it is ready when I turn in. What do you put in programs in case eISY was hung like my case or maybe if a power failure occurred while it was supposed to run? I learned after I wrote these that the time function is only used to schedule running (if) start time and the end time. A state variable could be included in if it was within that time frame is my first thought (no sure what it would be other than something that ticked a variable on/off and forced all stuff like this to evaluate the If every 10, 15, or 30? minutes) but I'm sure one of you has a superior method to accomplish this so it's good in event of an issue at start time. HVAC:Master Temp For Night If From 9:00:00PM To 6:29:59AM (next day) And $HVAC_MasterSuite_Override_Programming is $Not_Overridden_I Then $Thermostat_Master_Temp_Setting = $Thermostat_Master_Night_Temps_I Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

The knowledge of how to migrate from one platform to the next ages / gets dim quickly. Therefore, you may wake up one day to a relatively complex task with little current support. Same story for all technology and especially when it’s getting to be 10-15 years old.

Has anyone tried the Eyez-on DSC clone board?

Thanks. I’ll try to pay a bit of attention to it and report to them if they are mixing it up.

Thanks @bpwwer . So that I'm clear, are you describing when I restarted the eISY that the plugin requested data to populate fields and that WeatherFlow responded with the NC rainfall? EDIT: My plugin config is for local but it reported the NC amount. Does that mean on restart that it got remote data to populate fields (NC)but that data should have been updated with local data?

Thank you @Goose66 for updates to Schlage and EnvisLink-DSC plug-ins. Now unlocking the door can use a code to disarm security. Great when you have your hands full coming into the house! Using Entry Delay worked great to trigger Force Update instead of lowering short poll which would potentially cause issues.

What node are you calling NC? I only see/have Daily Rain in eISY. Do you have NC rain enabled in the WeatherFlow Tempest app? I do not have NC enabled. We have lots of highly scattered storms here in middle Tennessee, so NC is often off since it averages around you -- manual rain gauge verified that at Tempest haptic station readings are much closer most of the time. I get a daily message (right after midnight) with rainfall from previous day that I use to decide whether to run sprinklers the next day. Yesterday's rainfall message looked lower than recalled from glance during a hard pop-up rain event. Looked back and sure enough it was the NC amount and not the local at the station amount. Is this what you are describing? That said, maybe WeatherFlow have decided to always substitute it, or they have done it accidently. EDIT: I restarted the eISY a couple times yesterday working on a ZWave issue and it was well after the rainfall. Is this suggesting plugin may have picked up the NC amount after the restart even though we don't have NC enabled?

@Goose66 , this is fantastic! It worked as wanted and expected! Following are two test programs that uses Schlage Encode opening to disarm DSC Security system via your very own EnvisaLink-DSC. Garage:Entry Delay Disarm With Schlage Code - Catches Entry Delay so it can Force Update If 'Security System / Security System:Partition' Partition State is Entry Delay And 'Security System / Zone:Interior Garage Door' Zone State is Open Then Set 'Garage / Garage Door' Force Update Garage:Internal Deadbolt Unlocked By User 1 - Catches user that opened Schlage deadbolt so we can use their code to disarm alarm panel* If 'Garage / Garage Door' Last Access Code Used is '$Security_Code_User_1_I User Number' Then Set 'Security System / Security System:Partition' Disarm USER CODE* *Now that part about disarming with user code of person that opened Schlage Encode deadbolt takes us back a couple years to a request for EnvisalLink-DSC. https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/41353-disarm-with-multiple-codes/ So as not to break for anyone, could we set if USER CODE is not supplied it continues to use the one in the params? Again, thank you!

Great! I'll try it out when it shows up to install.

I’ve upgrade a couple times and its still say I need to upgrade to 3.3.15. No big deal... just wanted to let you know.

@Goose66 , I contacted the pyschlage library creator David Knowles via email about needing Python 3.11 support. He asked me to enter an issue in GitHub. I did and a couple hours later he marked it as closed and I can see activity on it. It’s issue 259 here https://github.com/dknowles2/pyschlage/issues/259. Once this is officially a release, can we explore options we discussed in this thread?

Just updated to 5.9.1. It took 10-15 minutes and then rebooted. I waited several more minutes and then connected with AC. No issues after connect so far. Thanks UD

Still going. It appears that water hammer feature only works for a Rachio Schedule and not individual zones like I posted above. I’ll work with node server author to see if we can expand it to send a schedule or to execute a schedule stored in Rachio. I can watch for irrigation on to potentially grab the water usage via Flume.

I located Rachio Minimize Water Hammer setting that open next valve about 10 seconds before closing. I’ll do some adjustments and testing to confirm the feature has impact when using API vs their schedule feature.

I tested and confirmed that Rachio irrigation controller will only let one zone be On at a time. Therefore, I removed the zone Off commands as it turns off last zone when turning on the next zone.

Thanks @IndyMike and @dbwarner5. Paul

Thanks for your insights and feedback. 1. I'm using that to show process, and I plan to have multiple variables that are calculated and adjusted by a program before this program runs. 2. It is municipal water.

@IndyMike Thanks for helping me understand it does not have to look so odd. Does the following look right? I've updated it down to the point of the Zone called Front Left and for readability here I've added color coding and line breaks to clarify what is required for each zone: On Set minute counter Repeat loop for timing Off Irrigation:Entire Yard If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then $Water_Today_Start_I = 'Flume Water / FlumeWater / Flume Sensor' Today US gallons Set 'Yard / Yard:Front Mulch Beds' Start '$Irrigation_Run_Minutes_I Minutes' $Minute_Counter_I = $Irrigation_Run_Minutes_I Repeat While $Minute_Counter_I > 0 Wait 1 minute $Minute_Counter_I -= 1 Repeat 1 times Set 'Yard / Yard:Front Mulch Beds' Start 0.0 minutes Set 'Yard / Yard:Front Right' Start '$Irrigation_Run_Minutes_I Minutes' $Minute_Counter_I = $Irrigation_Run_Minutes_I Repeat While $Minute_Counter_I > 0 Wait 1 minute $Minute_Counter_I -= 1 Repeat 1 times Set 'Yard / Yard:Front Right' Start 0.0 minutes Set 'Yard / Yard:Front Left' Start '$Irrigation_Run_Minutes_I Minutes' $Minute_Counter_I = $Irrigation_Run_Minutes_I Repeat While $Minute_Counter_I > 0 Wait 1 minute $Minute_Counter_I -= 1 Repeat 1 times Set 'Yard / Yard:Front Left' Start 0.0 minutes Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Fountain Driveway' On Wait 25 minutes Repeat 1 times Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Fountain Driveway' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Front Left' On Wait 25 minutes Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Front Left' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Front Right Center' On Wait 25 minutes Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Front Right Center' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Center Left' On Wait 25 minutes Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Center Left' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Center Right' On Wait 25 minutes Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Center Right' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Rear Left' On Wait 25 minutes Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Rear Left' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Rear Right' On Wait 25 minutes Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Rear Right' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Front Mulch Beds' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Front Right' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Front Left' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Fountain Driveway' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Front Right Center' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Front Left' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Center Right' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Center Left' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Rear Right' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Rear Left' Off Wait 5 minutes $Water_Today_End_I = 'Flume Water / FlumeWater / Flume Sensor' Today US gallons $Water_Today_Difference_I = 0 $Water_Today_Difference_I += $Water_Today_End_I $Water_Today_Difference_I -= $Water_Today_Start_I Send Notification to 'JPaulText' content 'Irrigation Log Data' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Thanks Paul. I want to do it for all 10 zones. It felt very confusing looking since all actions after a repeat fall into its loop structure so then needing to add many Repeat 1 times? Is that what you are suggesting? I had considered breaking each zone into its own program and having the programs execute each other in order with logic like Mike suggested.

Thanks to each of you for your methods and insights... What I want to do is have a simple way of triggering an irrigation run for multiple watering needs -- lets say Light, Standard, and HotAndDry. With each one defined for a ceration number of minutes. See the simplifed Standard needs trigger program and actual watering activity for entire yard. Note that I'm moving from EZ-Rain Insteon modules to Rachio controller with PlugIn model and have only changed the first Irrigation step to Rachio style Irrigation:Standard If ( On Sat, Mon, Wed Time is Sunrise - 4 hours And $Yard_Irrigation_Status_Manual_Update_Ony is 1 And $Yard_Irrigation_Needed_I is 1 ) Or ( Time is Sunrise - 4 hours And 'Virtual Devices / Yard:Irrig Standard' Switch Status is On ) Then $Irrigation_Run_Minutes = $Irrigation_Standard_Minutes Run Program 'Irrigation:Entire Yard' (Then Path) Set 'Virtual Devices / Yard:Irrig Standard' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Irrigation:Entire Yard If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then $Water_Today_Start_I = 'Flume Water / FlumeWater / Flume Sensor' Today US gallons Set 'Yard / Yard:Front Mulch Beds' Start '$Irrigation_Run_Minutes Minutes' Wait 25 minutes <====Want these to be variable based on $Irrigation_Run_Minutes Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Front Mulch Beds' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Front Left' On Wait 25 minutes Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Front Left' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Front Right' On Wait 25 minutes Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Front Right' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Fountain Driveway' On Wait 25 minutes Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Fountain Driveway' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Front Left' On Wait 25 minutes Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Front Left' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Front Right Center' On Wait 25 minutes Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Front Right Center' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Center Left' On Wait 25 minutes Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Center Left' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Center Right' On Wait 25 minutes Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Center Right' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Rear Left' On Wait 25 minutes Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Rear Left' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Rear Right' On Wait 25 minutes Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Rear Right' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Front Mulch Beds' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Front Right' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Front Left' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Fountain Driveway' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Front Right Center' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Front Left' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Center Right' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Center Left' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Rear Right' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Rear Left' Off Wait 5 minutes $Water_Today_End_I = 'Flume Water / FlumeWater / Flume Sensor' Today US gallons $Water_Today_Difference_I = 0 $Water_Today_Difference_I += $Water_Today_End_I $Water_Today_Difference_I -= $Water_Today_Start_I Send Notification to 'MeText' content 'Irrigation Log Data' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

is there a way to wait the number of minutes stored in an integer variable?

I don't get a screen like this for zone. I get the below screen. Is this something that change going from 4.x to 5.x versions of the NS? I would like to be able to turn off and on but it just has a Start botton with times to pick and Start with 0.000 is Off.

@Jimbo.Automates , thanks for taking this NS over. I debated using it early last year and did not because of no support. I installed a Rachio3 12 zone controller today and am working to get it configured with NS. I've added the api key, confirmed remote access is enabled, and rebooted the eISY a couple times. However, I have the following issues. 1 .Web hook error message (I xx'd out what appear to be a MAC address) ERROR: 04/12/2025 19:53:39 See log for: Connectivity test to my.isy.io:443 was not successful.

When I turned on a zone via AC using Start for 5 minutes, the status does not reflect On until I hit query and does not go back to Off until I hit query again. I left the shortPoll at 5 and longPoll at 600. I'm sure its because I'm just starting but would appreciate insights. Thanks, Paul http://d2z8ydsemzif1x.cloudfront.net/monthly_2025_04/image.png.2ca09b90d18c44d0eae6d15aca08631a.png Is
