I would like to use bitmasks in my programs. I the idea being that each 'bit' represents some state of a system. I found that I can do bit math when setting a variable, but I want to use that in conditionals. I want todo this so that a variable for an item such as 'garage lights' can remember all the programs that should still be true. Example I want to have them on between some given time period, but I also want to control them when my opener is operated. I don't want the opener timeout to shut off the outside if the other program is still in effect. Each bit would represent this sort of, 'don't forget you should still be doing this other code path while this one finished'. Any thoughts how todo this? It doesn't look like you can do variable math in the conditional at all. Thanks

LeeG, I had Status, not Control, I didn't even notice the difference, looking at the posted programs over and over. I expect this to work, thanks, I'll have to look into it.

I have implemented this program, if I test the sensors by shorting the contacts for 5 seconds, I get notifications, I have older models so they correctly clear back to dry when no longer wet and I see all these updates. The problem I have is heartbeats. Some of my sensors are not in locations I frequent (which is why I have them). If I look in my ISY I see Heartbeat for all sensors marked on, but they all end up in state 2 (heartbeat missed). If I look in the log I see exactly one heartbeat entry per device after a reboot of the ISY, then a second never shows. I have 6 sensors deployed, and the first heartbeat is never missed. Thoughts? Does it get ignored because the Heartbeat value never clears? I would really like to know if a battery has died or what. Thanks!
