Thank you.

Thanks for confirming this Andy. It is not entirely obvious that this is what was happening, but my solution and your comment confirms it. In other programming languages, when you are inside of the "THEN" or "ELSE" clause of an IF---THEN---ELSE statement the programming language would not re-evaluate the IF "Condition" again inside a WHILE or REPEAT loop. However, there are certainly cases for wanting this, but the condition is usually listed as part of the REPEAT block and not in the outside block.... That is, the language syntax would normally be "IF <condition> THEN <statement> ELSE <statement>" And a "REPEAT" is another statement that COULD be implemented as: REPEAT <statements> WHILE <condition> Where <condition> in the REPEAT loop is not the same as the <condition> in the IF statement. But here the implementation of the REPEAT statement is using the same condition of the IF statement... which to me is rather bizarre. Is there any documentation for the language syntax that the ISY is using?

In order to implement my feature I had to write 4 programs (see below). Basically I moved the REPEAT Loops into a separate program and called them from controller programs. ---------- Program 1: Call Tim Control Off If Control '**003 Living Room Pots / 003H Call Tim' is switched On And Status '**003 Living Room Pots' is Off Then Run Program 'Call Tim Leave Off' (Then Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') -------- Program 2: Call Tim Control On If Control '**003 Living Room Pots / 003H Call Tim' is switched On And Status '**003 Living Room Pots' is not Off Then Run Program 'Call Tim Leave On' (Then Path) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') -------- Program 3: Call Tim Leave Off If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Repeat 5 times Set '**003 Living Room Pots' On Set '**003 Living Room Pots' Off Wait 1 second Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') ---------------- Program 4: Call Tim Leave On If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then Repeat 5 times Set '**003 Living Room Pots' Off Set '**003 Living Room Pots' On Wait 1 second Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') --------

Hi, I have an ISY994i and I'm running firmware version 4.2.18. I'm new to programing ISY. I recently created the following program which was intended to flash lights 5 times: ------- If Control '**002 Kitchen Pots' is switched On Then Repeat 5 times Set '**003 Living Room Pots' On Set '**003 Living Room Pots' Off Wait 1 second Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') --------- The program above worked fine. The lights would flash 5 times and be turned off. I then wanted to augment the program to leave the light in the same state that it was before I started flashing it. I created two programs (one that checked if the state was already OFF) and the other that checked if the state was NOT OFF. ---------- If Control '**002 Kitchen Pots' is switched On And Status '**003 Living Room Pots' is Off Then Repeat 5 times Set '**003 Living Room Pots' On Set '**003 Living Room Pots' Off Wait 1 second Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') --------- and the second program: --------- If Control '**002 Kitchen Pots' is switched On And Status '**003 Living Room Pots' is not Off Then Repeat 5 times Set '**003 Living Room Pots' Off Set '**003 Living Room Pots' On Wait 1 second Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') ---------- The issue here is that the REPEAT loop is only executed once. The lights only flash once. Any ideas? Thanks, Ta

Thanks... you answered one of my questions... how to add program statements AFTER a repeat block.
