You can run a disabled program by calling it from another program, that is, run Then or run Else. OTOH, if there are no conditions (i.e, no If statements), than it doesn't matter if the program is disabled or not. The program will run only if it's called from another program.
-
The program won't run unless the status changes. If the thermostat already was at or below 74º, then there was is no change when you manually turned on the fan. BTW, there's no need for the wait statement unless you mean for the wait to occur before turning the fan off in which case the wait statement should be placed before the off statement (Move line up).
-
The fan has two modes, Auto and Fan. In Fan mode, the fan runs continually. That's the only mode that you can turn on or off. If the thermostat is calling for heat, not just in heat mode, then you cannot turn off the fan.

Was any personal info collected such as your email address? No one has responded to my question about validity. -
I meant who is receiving the responses? Other than it's someone new to the forum.

Who's interest?

Device Re-Name propogation, offline, undefined, duplicated
stusviews replied to whywork's topic in Amazon Echo
You cannot use the ISY to change the spoken name. That has to be done from the portal--only. BTW, the Echo has difficulty with initials. I use long identifiers such as living room light, living room sconces, living room lamp etc. -
What can you offer to validate your offer?
-
The program will run if the thermostat changes mode. In this case, it will run if the thermostat changes mode from heat to any other mode (true-Then will run) or if it changes from any other mode to heat (false-Else will run). If the thermostat does not change mode, even if it's not in heat mode, then the program won't run.
-
You don't need any specific port opened, the portal takes care of that. But you do need to register the portal. Have you attempted to register? Did you receive an email about registering?
-
How did you reset the ISY? Also, the .zip file should not be expanded. Follow Step 6 to install the finder: http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/9722-re-release-3310-rc7-is-now-available/

Thermostat Heat On/Off If Status 'Bedroom Thermostat - Main' is not Mode Heat Then Send Notification to 'Ed' content 'Heat Off Bedrooms' Set 'Bedroom Thermostat - Main' Mode Heat Else Send Notification to 'Ed' content 'Heat On Bedrooms'

The Echo already doss what you describe. The difficulty is restricting access depending on where in the home you are. Although it's nice to turn on the living room light from the bedroom, I'd rather that, "Alexa, turn on the light," be restricted to the room I'm in (e.g., the room where that specific Echo is). If I want to turn on the living room light from the bedroom, then I should need to specify "living room," light. But, if I'm in the living room (where the living room Echo is located), "turn on the light," should work only for the living room light and not the bedroom light. That's currently not possible. Edit: It can be done with a second ISY plus a second portal account. Or a third. Or a fourth ...

You could probably run the query half-hour or once an hour which would reduce traffic and, possibly, a collision.

I use virtually the same program: BR Cool - [iD 0080][Parent 0076] If Control 'BR / Devices / BRR HVAC.1 Heat-Zone 2 Off / BRR HVAC.3 Cool-Zone 1 Off' is switched On Or Control 'BR / Devices / BRR HVAC.1 Heat-Zone 2 Off / BRR HVAC.3 Cool-Zone 1 Off' is not switched Off Then Set 'BR / Devices / BR Thermostat Main' 77° (Cool Setpoint) Set 'BR / Devices / BR Thermostat Main' Mode Cool $iBR_Cool = 1 Else $iBR_Cool = 0 The variables are used for different programs.

When using Devices in echo rooms first try fails 100% of time?

Careful enunciation is the key until your voice is adapted to by Alexa. After that you can be sloppy in how you say something -

Don't forget to Discover Devices (app) or Restore Devices (voice) after forgetting everything -
It is a dilemma. I don't want to yell to the living room to control the bedroom lights-even if I could. And the one microphone I have won't reach that far. We do have three Echos, I gave each a different name, but each device still needs a unique name and any Echo can and will execute the command. Although it took awhile, the WAF became a rousing HA yes--until Alexa. but, we're still at the beginning of voiceomation.

I tried your open door method. The thermostat returned to the last mode (cool) and remained in that mode.That was about an hour ago or so ago.

A backup to the backup thermostat

KPL buttons can only send on or off (except for the main button if the KPL is a dimmer). If the Insteon responder is dimmable, then the On-level is set in the scene. If the responder is a dimmable X10 device, then you need to use a program. But, as Brian pointed out, the KPL buttons can be assigned an X10 house/unit code.

I have one 2441TH that does not report its status correctly unless I query it, but the thermostat is in the correct mode. Have you viewed a thermostat after it sends a message about not being in heat mode?

stusviews replied to Scyto's topic in Amazon Echo
AFAIK, connected home doesn't have rooms. Do you mean that you created groups? Also, if it's a new installation, then the Echo needs a little time to get used to your voice. If you're saying, "turn on room_name" then try, "turn room_name on." -
Are you getting reports only from the green room thermostat?
-
Is that the version on the paper label or the version reported by the iSY?
