On/Off SwitchLincs are relays. And they behave as does a dimmer if the linked responder is a dimmer.

In particular, I mean REMing an executable statement so that it doesn't run when troubleshooting a program.

You are correct. You jolted my memory. I've used Repeat 0 times to emulate a REM.

My experience is that Repeat 0 times after a block of Repeat x times causes the statements that follow to run once (i.e, zero repetitions). Repeat 1 time causes them to run twice (one repetition).

All, that's 100%, of my outdoor devices that depend on RF are in code approved exterior non-metallic enclosures .

If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Repeat 3 times Set Scene 'Scenes / Outside' Fast On Wait 8 seconds Repeat 0 times <--- this keeps the 3 hour wait from repeating Wait 3 hours Repeat 2 times Set Scene 'Scenes / Outside' Fast Off Wait 8 seconds Else

Mostly, age implies time in use.

Yes, you can do that.

What's the result if you add "lights" to the Google spoken?

If Discover doesn't show any devices, then you haven't added any devices to your mom's sub-account. Devices don't transfer from one account to another.

The program trigger depends on the action you will take. In general, "Control" will trigger the program each time the trigger device sends the selected command (e.g., on, off, dim, etc.). Status will trigger the program whenever the state of the trigger device changes to the selected command. Suppose "On" is the selected command. With control, the program will run each time an On is sent. Using status will run the program only when the device changes from some other state to On. Click on the Then section first, then Action (near bottom of screen) to select the open, close, stop and wait commands. Except for Wait, the other commands depends on how you control those actions now. Which specific blinds?

I've tried open/close on devices (sometimes works), scenes (rarely works) and programs. One and only one program responds to open and close. Actually, it's a pair of programs with the first running the If section of the second.

You added the ISY skill. That's OK, the ISY skill allows for more advanced features, such as running the condition(s) of a program. Try again. This time add the ISY Optimized for Smart Home V2.

Absolutely. You need to first deregister the new Dot on your account and then register it on you mom's account.

What is the result if you turn on the scene from the Administrative Panel? If the result is as expected, then I'd look as how you're using Agave. You must use any controller (i.e, Agave) to turn on the scene, not the device. If you turn on the device, only the device responds, not any of its links.

The button is already a responder, but you haven't defined a controller for the button. You'll need to define the load controller as a scene controller, too.

That suggests that they're on the same account. I have four accounts. When we say to turn on the light, only the light on that account turns on. Did you create a sub-account at the portal and log into that sub-account which must have a name different from the primary account. You can use the same password.

If you didn't notice or missed a notification about the leak. then you would never know a leak occurred if the sensor automatically reset when the contacts became dry.

Suppose it takes 42 seconds to fully close the blinds from fully open. Create a program that fully opens the blinds. You would use 42 (or even 45) seconds which will fully open them from any intermediate position. In general. If 'trigger event' Then send open command Wait 42 (or 45) seconds send stop command Then add the following lines to close the blinds 50% send close command Wait 21 seconds (half of 42) send stop command or add the following lines to close the blinds one-third of the way send close command Wait 14 seconds (one-third of 42) send stop command or, to close the blinds approximately one-fourth of the way send close command Wait 10 (or 11) seconds (one-fourth of 42 is 10.5) send stop command

Which specific Intermatic valve actuator? Any links to manuals?

Other than the jumper, you cannot alter the sensitivity of the MS. Lower numbers means that the MS will respond to motion only under darker conditions, higher numbers will allow the MS to respond when it's less dark.

Which blinds (brand; model, if applicable)? Which automation protocol do the blinds use?

Scene levels have no meaning. A scene is either on or off. That's because each member of a scene can have its own On-level. Consider a scene with two devices; the scene sets one device to 40% and turns the other device off. You want the scene set to 50%. What does that mean? Should the first device be set to 50% or 20%? Should the 2nd device remain off or illuminate to 50% of full on? You may know what you mean, but the ISY doesn't. Computers don't handle ambiguities well, if at all. Benoit, in his wisdom, created a set of commands (brighten, dim) that raises or lowers each device in the scene three Insteon levels from what each device in the scene was at (each level is approximately 3%), but you cannot set a specific brightness level for a scene. However a device can be set to a particular On-level. So, you can have a named scene (which includes more than one device) that sets those devices to a non-adjustable brightness and a named device that allows you to set a specific brightness. Or you can create an Echo group that includes both the scene and the device. The scene ignores percentage commands, the device responds.
