He came early before I fully tested the programs. I am going to test them using alerts and see if I am getting the desired results. With it being a leak, I am going to eventually need this to work while I wait for the part and install.

So, it's a small leak in the Evap Coils. It's going to need to be replaced at some point. If it makes it through cooling season, then I will probably replace it at the beginning of next season, when it would otherwise need to be refilled. It was a $275 job, but it's running perfect now. I think Evap might be like a $1,500 job.

It's low freon. Unfortunately there is no DIY way to top of the refrigerant. My HVAC guy is a week from coming though and we have some hot days. Heat pumps run a defrost mode, so I am basically stealing that technique to limp along. I will add I've been trying to do it manually for the last 3 days and have failed miserably. I keep forgetting to put it back into cool.

Amazing! Can't wait to try it out. I had no idea you were putting that level of effort into the solution. Wow!

No problem, Friend. Thanks for all your help regardless.

Eh, When the Program runs THEN Set 'Upstairs / Master / Upstairs Thermostat - Main' Mode Off then the IF statement becomes false and the program turns the Cooling off and breaks out before running the next line.

I haven't used a zero. USB wifi works on Pi3 but I haven't tried a usb dongle. Happy to try if I can find mine.

Agreed. Thanks!

I also forgot I hadn't restored the Thermostats from an issue I was having, so the Status for Cool Ct and Heat Ct were not appearing.

Sure. If I see one I will grab it and ping you.

Offff. I am happy to assist if you want me to grab one next time I they are in stock in Atlanta.

I think you are on to something about which nodes are correct. There is a Status that changes called Heat/Cool State and the variable that changes is Heating/Cooling. The program didn't run after an hour of cooling so I am assuming that the node is incorrect on just the Status of Upstairs Thermostat - Cool Ct Status is On.

I think I can try and figure it out. I just needed some Program logic, because I seem to suck at it normally. But if it's going horribly off the rails I will be able to see that quickly.

Ok another question. Does the Program "Break" when the THEN "Set 'Upstairs / Master / Upstairs Thermostat - Main' Mode Off". Wouldn't this turn the IF Status "'Upstairs / Master / Upstairs Thermostat - Cool Ct' is On" to Off? Or will it continue out the THEN until it reaches then end? The documentation says "Runs the Then section of the specified program disregarding any Conditions. \"

Very cool. Makes a lot more sense now. I will give it a try and see if I can tell if I am getting the desired response. Thanks a million.

So, for clarification, you are saying that as written, if it runs for 45 minutes it would still do the IF even if it's not needed? And "Status" would only do it if it stayed active for 1 hr? I am not sure I get the Repeat part. Sorry, not sure why Insteon logic confuses me sometimes (probably switching from Python logic, to Excel logic, to Insteon logic). Thanks for the assistance. You are always so helpful.

Oops, sorry. I have the Insteon 2441TH

I mean just to have super active development is exciting.

I am trying to create a program for my HVAC where after running for an hour, it turns off the cooling for 15 minutes and runs just the Fan. Then I want it to return to normal operation. If 'Upstairs / Master / Upstairs Thermostat - Cool Ct' is switched On Then Wait 1 hour Set 'Upstairs / Master / Upstairs Thermostat - Main' Mode Off Set 'Upstairs / Master / Upstairs Thermostat - Main' Fan Mode On Wait 15 minutes Set 'Upstairs / Master / Upstairs Thermostat - Main' Mode Cool Set 'Upstairs / Master / Upstairs Thermostat - Main' Fan Mode Auto Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Does that IF Condition "Control" trigger every time cooling is called for or only when you set the mode to cooling initially? Should it be "Status" instead.

You can run them headless with nothing but a power supply and a $5 SD card. The new ones are much more powerful, but there are very few HA applications that need a new Pi4 with 8GB Ram and a 500 GB SD card.

I have been able to get them in-person at Microcenter for MSRP, but they are subject to the same chip shortage as everything else.

I would probably pay $500 / device that could do everything Alexa could do and was updated, but no data ever left my system.

What I wouldn't give for a local closed system "Alexa". I understand people who don't care, but I took Alexa out of my system after going through all the privacy settings and what she had recorded. It also trampled all over my phrases to try and get me to buy shit.

Got it. Thanks.
